Top SchoolMatthew Rantala is a Senior GIS Analyst with 12+ years of hands-on experience building and administering enterprise GIS systems using the full ESRI stack, SQL Server and PostgreSQL. He combines application development (VB.Net/ArcObjects, arcpy/python, JavaScript) with system administration—designing geodatabases, deploying ArcGIS Server/Online solutions, and integrating geospatial services into legacy enterprise apps. Matthew has led data collection and standardization initiatives, from county parcel management to high-volume routing and GPS projects, demonstrating both technical depth and operational leadership. His background spans consulting, utilities, and public sector roles, and he pairs a Master’s-level GIS education with practical experience migrating desktop workflows to web-based platforms.
