Jerrett Littleton

Senior Geospatial Technologist/IT Manager

About Me

I am a Geospatial Data Analyst with a dynamic career spanning four years. Currently serving as the Senior Geospatial Technologist/IT Manager at ENPLAN since November 2021, I excel in orchestrating data automation for diverse datasets and leading end-to-end product development. My expertise includes creating and optimizing ETL processes for disperate datasets, creating robust business metrics pipelines, and designing product tools and data systems. I also engineer custom outreach platforms using web scraping and data cleaning techniques, manage IT operations, and oversee extensive email marketing campaigns.

Prior to ENPLAN, I contributed as a General Assistant IT - GIS at the County of Shasta from March 2020 to May 2021. In this role, I cleaned and updated geospatial data for county web maps, collaborating seamlessly with county departments to meet project requirements.

My educational background comprises a B.S. in Business Information Systems from Chico State University, an A.S. in Geographic Information System from Shasta College, Redding, and an A.A. in Quantitative Reasoning from Shasta College. With a strong foundation in project management, planning, and stakeholder engagement, I bring a holistic approach to problem-solving and continual learning in every endeavor.

Work Projects

Data Automation ETL

Automation of data flows into PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL databases includes building and maintaining ETL pipelines to streamline data collection, processing, and integration, ensuring accuracy and currency. Python is used to obtain and process data in GeoPandas before database loading. Spatial data is accessed with QGIS or ArcGIS Pro for geospatial analysis and styling, then connected to Geoserver. Automation is set up with Cron Jobs in Linux on virtual servers, with ETL pipelines developed for sources like NASA, Fish and Wildlife, NOAA, CalFire, and property data for all 58 California counties.

Metrics Pipeline and Reporting

Established a comprehensive Metrics Pipeline and Reporting system to gain insights into user interactions with web maps. Designed and implemented a user logging schema within PostgreSQL, integrating SQL, Python, Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib to analyze data, generate meaningful metrics, and present them through visually informative graphs.

Email Marketing Campaigns
