• Create advanced mapping, imagery, and visualization products conveying complicated tactical and strategic information.
• Combine geospatial and temporal information to perform all-source analysis and research.

• Journeyman knowledge of ESRI ArcPro 3.x, Spatial Analyst, Remote View and various classified imagery access platforms.
• Journeyman knowledge of Oracle databases, GIS web services, personal and multi-user geodatabases, various vector and raster data formats, NTM and commercial imagery, and NGA products (e.g. CADRG, CIB, and DTED).
