Top SchoolJoseph Seppi is a geospatial technology leader and advisor with 13+ years of experience helping governments and enterprises plan, procure, build, and deploy mission-critical location intelligence systems. He has scaled global professional services—leading a nearly 1,000-person geospatial sector at Woolpert—and now advises national government clients and executives on aligning sensor data, GIS, and situational awareness capabilities with program requirements and budgets. Joseph blends technical depth (from hands-on program work in airborne lidar, hydrographic/topographic surveys, and novel voxel-based subsurface visualization) with procurement and program management expertise developed across DoD, IC, and civil agencies. He also contributes to open-source tooling as a full‑stack developer on projects like the TIC-80 fantasy computer, showing a curiosity for practical engineering beyond traditional GIS stacks. Based in McLean, VA, he runs a consultancy and a startup advisory practice that help organizations navigate complex technology choices and scale into new markets, including emerging work in Africa. Colleagues rely on him for translating messy requirements into auditable, deployable geospatial capabilities that withstand government procurement and operational scrutiny.
