Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid O'loughlin is an Applications Systems Specialist with over 11 years of geospatial-focused technology experience and a long career blending software engineering, environmental science, and natural resource consulting. He currently applies Esri tools, Google Earth Engine, rasterio and AWS to satellite imagery and GIS workflows for emergency programs, having previously led regional forest-change and dataset projects using PostGIS, GDAL and ArcGIS tooling. Trained as a computer scientist (B.S.) and forester (M.S.), he uniquely bridges rigorous ecological domain knowledge with decades of systems and database engineering—from Smalltalk and C++ enterprise systems to modern Python and cloud-based geoprocessing. His background as a licensed soil scientist and history of building applied models and monitoring programs (e.g., headwater stream mapping, sea level rise, wetlands inventory) gives him practical credibility in both field-driven science and production GIS. Colleagues rely on him for translating complex spatial requirements into scalable, reproducible analysis pipelines across Linux and Windows environments.
