Professional Experience

Following WSP’s acquisition of TRC, Glenn will join WSP as a Senior Software Developer in January 2027.

Wilderness Evaluation Tool

• Utilized the ArcGIS API for Python to refine and update the cloning notebook/script that clones the tool’s 10 AGOL content items from the template to a target user account and updates all embedded content IDs to the newly cloned content, so the tool can be quickly duplicated and shared while each forest gets its own copy that supports customizations to better fit that forest and its data.
• The final Wilderness Evaluation Tool was a tabbed Experience Builder application with 9 other content items embedded within it, including 2 dashboards, 3 web maps, 1 Survey123 form, 1 VBA macro, 1 hosted feature layer linked to the Survey123 form, and 1 Word document for the standardized Survey123 report.
• Configured and updated the requested Wilderness Evaluation Form template, which spans 8 pages and over 400 lines.
• Cloned the Wilderness Evaluation Tool and set up all 10 content items for the following units: Black Hills NF, Blue Mountains NF, Bridger-Teton NF, Cimarron and Comanche Grasslands, and the Tongass National Forest.
• Oversaw the evaluation and final report outputs for the Black Hills and Blue Mountains national forests.

Fireshed Land Ownership Analysis

• Automated analysis to determine the percentage of land ownership for every fireshed in CONUS.
• Created an FME workflow that took in the land ownership data of choice, consolidated the categories into USFS categories, unioned that data with the fireshed data, calculated the percent land ownership for every fireshed, and aggregated the data back up to each fireshed to get accurate percentages.
• Wrote additional QC metrics using the AttributeManager, AreaOnAreaOverlayer, Reader, Writer, Aggregator, and AttributeFilter transformers.

Climate Risk Viewer (CRV) — USFS

• Lead developer for the Climate Risk Viewer, a comprehensive decision support tool for the USFS including ~40 AGOL items (Experience Builder apps, StoryMaps, and web maps) and ~145 data layers.
• Received a Certificate of Appreciation and a USFS Chief’s Award for critical technical expertise provided to the project.
• Led the GIS data management, online content development, and documentation efforts.
• Given the Publisher role on all main USFS public and internal GIS ArcGIS Servers; managed and maintained all data and services for the CRV hosted on USFS ArcGIS Servers.

• Conducted over 50 trainings on a privately trademarked geospatial visualization, analysis, and discovery tool for village resource specialists, planners, and managers.
• Managed and maintained a wide range of spatial information, including water utilities, sewer utilities, zoning, infrastructure, tree inventories, and other municipally owned and maintained assets.
• Used Esri’s Network Analyst to create optimized tree-planting route maps, and demonstrated the ability to perform these geospatial tasks in ArcGIS Online.
• Wrote ModelBuilder models to automate simple data workflows for all three municipalities.
• Led and designed multiple municipal data collection projects for key datasets, including sign inventory, parks inventory, fence code violations, snow removal operations, meter inventory, b-box inventory, sidewalk inventory, police camera locations, ADA curb ramps, and more.
• Collaborated with local resource specialists and provided routine database management to create Riverside’s Public Tree Viewer using Collector, ArcGIS Online, and the USDA Forest Service i-Tree Eco tool.
• Helped the Lincolnwood Board of Directors and Community Development Director make an informed, data-driven decision on updating their floor-area ratio (FAR) policy. Provided GIS analysis, maps, a viewer, and a statistical breakdown of the current FAR policy alongside proposed alternatives, so the board could visualize how each policy would apply to every lot in the village.

• Served as project manager and lead developer for an EPA START project called the Release Analysis Viewer (RAV) tool. Successfully managed a $45,000 budget while receiving high marks from the client on the final deliverables.
• Used Python, VBA, ArcMap, and ArcPy to automate business operations and natural resource management tasks, reducing staffing requirements and overall cost for each project.
• Developed well-presented figures and maps using ArcMap and ArcCatalog, and used ArcGIS Online to create web applications providing interactive data for multiple client decision-making tools.
• Created dataflows for acquiring, storing, organizing, and managing a wide range of geospatial and technical information using RTKs, Leica lasers, Survey123, Collector, and Field Maps.
• Employed sampling and monitoring techniques for frequently measured environmental factors, including soil, water, and air.
• Selected as a GIS lead for the California Camp Fire, with over 18,000 damaged structures, supporting 7 post-fire debris cleanup operations in California.

• Helped other project managers move from paper forms to digital data collection by creating Survey123 forms that displayed real-time data in ArcGIS Online. All Survey123 projects were designed so exports were compatible with the target database schema in Scribe, gINT, or Microsoft Access.
• Lead data manager and GIS analyst supporting multiple other START projects in the office.

• Developed a custom spall-detection ArcToolbox geoprocessing tool using Python and ArcPy. The tool’s input was drone-generated DEM rasters, and its output was a feature class of suspected spall polygons.
