01 / SELECTED WORK

Applications & connected systems.

HOLYOKE GAS & ELECTRIC / PROFESSIONAL PROJECT

.NET meter locator

Recent work · Fall 2026

A custom lookup tool connecting meter information, an enterprise billing and work-management system, and an existing database-backed web map.

SYSTEMS BROUGHT TOGETHER

BUSINESS SYSTEM

Billing & work management

Meter information within the existing enterprise environment.

CUSTOM APPLICATION

.NET meter lookup

A focused interface for staff who need to locate meter data.

SPATIAL PLATFORM

Database-backed web map

The map connection brings location into the lookup workflow.

The need

Staff needed meter data without navigating the full billing and work-management interface for a routine lookup.

What I built

Developed a .NET meter locator and connected it back to the existing spatial platform, linking enterprise meter information, a custom lookup interface, and the web map.

The result

A dedicated way to access meter data that brings existing applications together around a specific task and reduces the need to use the larger system for lookups.

Application development in practice.

Custom .NET development, integration across business and spatial systems, and a simpler interface built around staff needs.

INDEPENDENT PROJECT / OPEN-SOURCE GIS

Bernardston GIS Platform

Personal project · Working prototype

An open-source application connecting parcel search, spatial review, and meeting preparation. The project brings database records and map services into tools for reviewing abutters and assembling draft hearing packets.

Town-wide Bernardston map with the complete town boundary, terrain, roads, and waterways. — Town overview — the full municipal extent with regional context, terrain, roads, and waterways. Captured from the current working prototype with WMS online. Select the image to view it full size.

The problem

Bring property records, spatial context, and meeting materials together so a routine review can move from a parcel to a usable draft packet.

My contribution

System architecture, database structure, geospatial service integration, frontend interactions, review forms, document workflows, debugging, and documentation.

The working result

A working prototype with parcel search, layer controls, radius and adjacency abutter review, recipient deduplication, and structured hearing-packet preparation.

Technical decisions and implemented capabilities

Data & services

Separate ingestion, core spatial records, and application-facing views.
Use WMS raster tiles, WFS search, GeoJSON, and GetFeatureInfo.
Normalize coordinate systems for consistent map interactions.

Application behavior

Search parcels by address, owner, or parcel ID.
Group reference, water, roads, structures, and property layers.
Expose service status and highlight selected features.
Review abutters by distance or adjacency, with parcel overrides and deduplicated recipients.
Combine case details, property facts, maps, and reviewed abutters in draft hearing packets.

This is an independent personal GIS pilot, not a commissioned municipal deployment. Screenshots show the current working prototype. The meeting form uses illustrative case information, and review outputs remain drafts. The downloadable case study provides additional detail.
