David Howes, LLC

I'm a geospatial information scientist and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consultant specializing in the development of GIS tools, processes, and supporting infrastructure.

Working on my own or with other consultants, I can also assist you with supporting data and infrastructure requirements and, if you wish to become a developer yourself, provide training services to help you reach your goals.

With over 30 years of academic and private sector experience in both the United Kingdom and the United States in geography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and fluvial geomorphology (including a Ph.D. in geomorphology from the State University of New York at Buffalo and an M.Sc. in GIS from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland), I have a diverse background that is well suited to developing innovative solutions to spatial problems. I believe I can help you think of things in ways that you may not otherwise have done and place at your disposal a strong mix of innovative thinking and technical capabilities.

My main focus is the Esri ArcGIS platform, coupled with Microsoft technology, the Python programming language, and web development technology.

The tools and processes I develop may operate on the desktop or in web and mobile environments and include, for example, geoprocessing tools, spatial models and associated user interfaces, and data development procedures.

For some of my contributions to the professional community, please see my upcoming and past presentations.

I regularly offer training workshops on a range of Esri ArcGIS-related topics. Please see my training page for details.

I’m based in Seattle, Washington in the United States and operate both locally and nationally in a range of different market sectors.
