• GIS/DB/Programming Working Experience: Webmaster & Nortel Networks & Raytheon/E-Systems CRSS/Space Imaging & US NAVY ET2
• My Expectation for the UTD GIS curriculum: Achieve course goals by obtaining the ability to solve real world social and environmental problems, such as suitability assessment, environment inequity, diffusion simulation, distributed drainage runoff prediction, transportation planning, etc., using GIS tools and methodologies.
• My Expectation for the Visual Basic language with GIS related applications: Allow me to delve into the basics of GIS VB / VBA programming, enabling me to increase my GIS programming power and productivity.
• My Expectation for the GIS Management and Implementation course include learning the strategies and processes required to successfully implant and manage both an enterprise-wide and organization-wide GIS

Webmaster: Duties performed included the development of meaningful site content, graphic layout, page and site design. Study of new technologies and methodologies suitable for current and future implementation. Installation, administration, modernization and trouble shooting of client Web sites residing on remote WIN/UNIX host servers.

Web site contains over 100 pages of custom maps and geocoded data created for my use as a UTDallas/GISc student.

Objectives: This project is to obtain public data on the location of registered sex offenders located in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and create maps that illustrate the proximity of registered sex offenders to local schools using the buffer capabilities of GIS software.

Content provided by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Sex Offender Registration (SOR) Database, Texas Education Agency (TEA) Database for school locations and DFWinfo.com Data Clearinghouse for base shapefiles.
