Professional and Technical Work
I am the founder of Polaris Geospatial Services, a company that provides solutions to geospatial problems with a focus on their geodetic aspects. We are currently focused on least-squares adjustment software development. Other potential products and services include custom software development, geodetic engineering solutions, and research work involving the following:
- Custom geodetic and surveying least-squares adjustment solutions
- Deformation monitoring solutions
- Geospatial data sampling and analysis
- Specialized surveying projects
- Training and instruction in geodetic theory and applications
- Agricultural drainage software Research
While working full time in industry, I continue pursuing my interest in scientific aspects of geodesy by publishing in peer-review journals and by giving presentations at conferences on geodesy and applied mathematics and statistics.
