Fieldwork spanning the United States and Europe

Surveying the world

One point at a time

GPS · 3D Scanning · Total Station

My career as a geodetic surveyor has not only been professionally fulfilling but has also offered me the unique opportunity to travel extensively and immerse myself in diverse cultures around the world. This exposure has enriched my perspective, allowing me to bring a broad, well-informed viewpoint to my work.

Surveying has taken me far beyond a desk from scanning 3D models of Amazon facilities across the United States to mapping airfields in Europe and Iraq. I’ve worked on contract projects in Afghanistan, where precision and reliability were critical, and each job brought unique challenges. My work has spanned collecting high-accuracy data, creating detailed maps, and ensuring every measurement told the true story of the terrain. Along the way, I’ve learned that surveying isn’t just about points and lines. It’s about capturing places, preserving details, and connecting them to the bigger picture.

3D Scanning

Seatle Amazon Fulfillment Center, 2022

During the COVID pandemic, I was part of large-scale surveying efforts that leveraged 3D laser scanning to document over 50 Amazon fulfillment centers across 34 states in less than 2.5 years. In environments where speed, accuracy, and minimal site disruption were critical, 3D scanning proved invaluable. The technology captures millions of data points in minutes, creating highly accurate digital replicas of complex facilities that teams can revisit, measure, and analyze long after leaving the site. For companies, this means faster decision-making, reduced rework, and safer workflows; for surveying, it represents a shift toward efficiency and precision at an unprecedented scale. 3D scanning doesn’t just record space—it transforms how large projects are planned, coordinated, and executed.

CAD Drafting

Grayson, Georgia, 2024

My drafting foundation was built in the U.S. Army, where I worked with GPS data processed through TerraModal and translated field measurements into AutoCAD deliverables for as-built documentation of military installations. While many of my civilian roles kept me primarily in the field due to speed and reliability as a surveyor, I’ve remained hands-on and technically fluent in CAD workflows. I understand how accurate linework, control, and field notes translate into clear, defensible drawings—from boundary and topographic data to utilities and site features. This dual perspective allows me to draft with intent, ensuring that what’s shown on paper accurately reflects real-world conditions and supports engineering, construction, and decision-making needs.
