Hi, I'm Danny.
I work in GIS, software, and whatever sits in the overlap between maps, data, and useful tools.
A lot of what I like building lives in that middle space between heavy enterprise systems and quick little experiments: workflow tools, geospatial utilities, prototypes, dashboards, and systems that make messy things a little more understandable.
Most of this site is me thinking in public about:
- GIS and geospatial workflows
- software and product ideas
- AI systems that are actually practical
- personal tools, infrastructure, and experiments
Work
By day I work on GIS systems and data operations at Southern California Edison. That has meant a lot of time spent around ArcGIS, automation, data management, and the weird realities of getting spatial systems to work in real organizations.
I’m especially interested in the part where geospatial work stops being abstract and becomes operational: the scripts, tools, guardrails, and interfaces that make data usable.
What I’m into
A few recurring themes on this site:
- making spatial logic more visible and inspectable
- building lighter-weight tools instead of always reaching for the biggest stack
- figuring out how AI can be useful without becoming magic theater
- turning vague ideas into something concrete enough to test
Outside of work
Outside of work, I’m usually thinking about side projects, maps, homelab stuff, writing, or trying to keep some momentum on exercise and life admin.
I’m also a dad to two little boys, which means a lot of life is happening in the middle of all the projects and ideas.
