Cody Parham

GIS developer with 7+ years of experience building, maintaining and automating spatial data systems. Focused on web maps, geospatial tools and the data pipelines behind them.

Background spans imagery and infrastructure: feature extraction and remote sensing for geospatial intelligence clients, Python automation for large-scale data conflation, PostgreSQL geodatabase and ArcGIS Server/SDE administration, and utility network data management in ArcGIS and Smallworld GDO.

Core strengths include workflow automation with Python, SQL data cleanup and interactive mapping with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, with an emphasis on clean data models and maintainable code.

B.S. in Geographic Information Systems from Austin Peay State University; Master's in Data Analytics in progress. Current work combines GIS and data science, including a storm-driven power outage risk model for Clarksville, TN.
