Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Abbott is a GIS developer with 11 years of experience blending civil engineering insight and software craftsmanship to support state and local government systems. He has led and implemented complex GIS and information systems—from statewide linear referencing and environmental data platforms to transportation safety and ADA asset inventories—using a wide stack including ASP.NET/C#, ArcGIS Server, SQL Server, and modern front-end frameworks. At Washington State agencies he combined domain expertise in crash and roadside safety analysis with pragmatic software solutions, and now applies that hybrid skillset to Seattle’s municipal GIS challenges. Paul has a history of mentoring engineers and raising code quality through testing and architecture work, and has built tools that bridge legacy systems (COBOL, ArcIMS) with contemporary service-oriented designs. His background in civil engineering and early work creating shrink-wrap GIS tools give him a rare mix of field-focused domain knowledge and durable enterprise software experience. Based in Seattle, he is comfortable translating policy-driven requirements into auditable, production-ready systems that support public-sector decision making.
