GIS Systems Architect at General Dynamics Information Technology
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTorrin Hultgren is a GIS Systems Architect with 14 years of experience designing and operating enterprise geospatial platforms, currently applying his expertise at General Dynamics Information Technology from Seattle. He combines deep Esri knowledge with strong web and spatial database skills—ArcGIS Server/Online, ArcPy, PostgreSQL/Oracle, and RESTful web mapping—to deliver secure, high-performance mapping services and metadata portals. Previously he led operations for the EPA’s flagship Environmental Dataset Gateway and engineered national-scale geodatabases, change-management processes, and imagery delivery workflows for disaster response. Torrin often steps outside the Esri stack when business needs demand it, integrating cloud services, commercial mapping APIs, and virtual globes to modernize architectures. He pairs hands-on scripting and performance tuning with governance work—security plans, Open Data compliance, and metadata standards—bringing both technical depth and operational discipline. An early background in cartographic automation and systems administration gives him a practical bent for solving data-scale and tooling challenges end-to-end.
