Summary
David Smith is a solutions architect and licensed professional engineer with 13+ years driving geospatial, data science, and enterprise cloud initiatives at the U.S. EPA. He designed EPAโs enterprise AWS-based analytics platform, led modernization of the Facility Registry Service integrating millions of records, and played a central role implementing Evidence Act/Open Data Act and data governance across agencies. A hands-on technologist fluent in Python, R, GIS platforms and linked open data, he couples deep domain expertise in surveying/cartography with program-level leadership and contract management experience. His work earned multiple EPA medals and national recognition for environmental information stewardship, and he routinely bridges technical, policy, and stakeholder domains to enable interoperable, production-grade geospatial services. An uncommon strength is his blend of field-level survey engineering roots with enterprise architecture, enabling pragmatic solutions from sensor to enterprise.
