About Me

Demian Rybock, GISP
Principal and Founder
I have over 7 years of experience working as a GIS Professional on natural resource management and conservation projects. I am a certified GIS Professional currently working in the Geospatial Center at USAID. I have experience with a broad range of software and technical skills integrating desktop, server, database, mobile, and web technologies. My specialties are in conducting business GIS needs assessments, developing geospatial data management workflows and strategies, designing and implementing spatial data infrastructures, as well as performing many of the traditional desktop GIS tasks such as conducting spatial analyses and creating cartographic products for print and the web. My latest passions are in streamlining business GIS tasks through scripting and automation and in making data more accessible, sharable and interesting by mashing up services and developing and integrating web map applications.

      
Recommendations:

“Demian is strong, detailed, and process oriented GIS specialist who is also committed to delivering high quality results on time.” 
- Frank Biasi, Director, Conservation Projects,  National Geographic Maps 

“Demian did an excellent job of developing the spatial infrastructure needed to support the LandScope America project. He took initiative to think about the big picture when establishing procedures so that they were well-documented, repeatable, and supported the overall needs of the organization. He also initiated several enterprise-level solutions, including a GIS warehouse and a system for documenting the warehouse contents via Sharepoint, that will benefit other organization-wide efforts.” 
- Lori Scott, Project Director, NatureServe 

“I have known Demian for several years and have always been impressed with his professionalism and positive outlook. Demian is reliable and meets deadlines on time. He shows an adept ability to work well collaboratively on a team and is competent in his GIS technical skills.” 
- Steve Schill, Regional Senior Scientist, The Nature Conservancy 

“Demian is a hard worker with an ambition to grow in his skill set as a GIS professional. He is passionate about conservation issues and is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. He does *not* back down from challenges. He takes initiative. For example, an area of GIS software with a significant technical learning curve is enterprise level ArcSDE (ArcGIS Server). Demain jumped into this technology on his own initiative while being a GIS specialist at TNC. In my interactions with him I saw a person with patience, attention to detail and persistence. I gladly endorse this person and his good work at any time.”
