Curriculum vitae

After earning degrees in statistics and biology, Chris decided to become a programmer and has worked in that capacity at the RS/GIS Lab since 2002. She gets to create fun things such as distributed analysis apps that run on AWS, web apps using both Open Source and Esri technologies, stand-alone analysis software, and ArcGIS extensions. She also wears DBA and sysadmin hats from time to time.

In addition, she teaches a yearly class on Python programming for GIS that focuses on ArcPy and GDAL/OGR, and has written a book on Python programming with Open Source software, called Geoprocessing with Python.
