Introduce Yourself!

[MichelleMathias]

Welcome to GeoNet!

We are a community that collaborates, learns and shares together. To help you connect with other members, we started this introduction thread. Think of this as your intro to GeoNet networking and a chance to get to know  each other as we begin our GeoNet journey.

Please introduce yourself to the rest of the community by sharing your answers to the questions in the comments section below.

• Where do you work and what is your role? 
• What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? (big or small - no win is out of bounds)
• What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?

Bonus Round! Post the coordinates to your favorite place on earth.

Where do you work and what is your role?

My name is Derek, I'm a graduate student in Georgia Tech. Currently, I am still learning GIS and working on my Master's of GIST degree. 

What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use?

Mostly, I use Arcmap. But this year I am learning python and arcpy. For visualization, I am using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Tableau, etc.  

What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?

I had experience on database construction, mapping via Arcmap, network analysis. I always hope to combine ArcGIS and 911 emergency incidents, because I am also a NREMT. I hope to design a feature that can live track incidents, predict the trend via big data, and provide any relocations of manpower of emergency departments before the accidents really happens.

Where do you work and what is your role?

Hi, I'm Jonathan, I'm an environmental monitoring officer for the Environment Agency in the UK. I use GIS for visualising monitoring programmes in relation to environmental pressures. I seek to use GIS as the portal to other sources of information.

What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use?

My big success so far has been getting to grips with Arc10 (my organisations latest version) on a virtual desktop. I have also learned to publish and share maps via an internal esri online portal that we have called enterprise which is only for distribution to internal staff.

What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?

My expertise is analysing and interpreting ecological data in freshwater systems, my GIS skills are basic but I have some rather ambitious ideas for integrating GIS with our databases and analysis software that is way beyond my current capabilities.

Hello, My name is Christopher Green, and I am happy to join the ESRI community!

• I work at the Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. My position title is Volunteer Coordinator. My background in science communication and media production gets me involved in our exhibit hall as well as other projects.
• No big GIS success for me yet this year. I am working on a proof-of-concept project to incorporate Story Maps into our exhibit hall kiosk touchscreens.
• I am a content producer and manager. I have experience with a wide range of media production and content management software and best practices. I have experience applying this knowledge in the realm of science communication.

If you have specific knowledge about incorporating Story Maps into exhibit space touchscreens, I would love to hear from you!

Best, Chris
