System Architect
Matt architects the systems that connect scientists to their data; designing everything from QGIS desktop plugins for field analysis to the cloud-native Riverscapes Data Exchange platform and Cybercastor automation engine that makes geospatial datasets work at scale, discoverable and then shareable worldwide. He joined North Arrow Research in 2014, bringing a physics degree and over a decade of software development experience. That foundation gives him a rare ability to reason from first principles - whether he's building low-level geospatial algorithms or high-throughput cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services.
Geospatial Developer
Kelly leads geospatial algorithm development and has over 15 years of experience creating custom geospatial software. Kelly was the lead developer on the CHaMP Topographic Toolbar, an ArcGIS AddIn for processing high resolution surveys. He now leads our efforts geospatial algorithm development using open source GIS software.
Data Architect
Lorin designs and implements solutions that improve data organization, maintenance, and delivery for clients. At North Arrow Research he oversees the organization, maintenance, and delivery of client data.
