Jason Berney

I am currently employed by The Gartrell Group, a consultancy focused on helping our clients define and execute strategies to optimize their use of geospatial technology. I am focused on using modern technology and geospatial software to visualize business resources and develop solutions to unique business challenges.

I am a full stack software developer leading and supporting web application development for project tracking, field review, dashboard analytics, and mapping programs that provide spatial insights. My project work has focused on electric vehicle charging demand, renewable energy construction, transportation infrastructure planning, and climate adaptation. I have a background in GIS that provides me with specialized experience integrating geospatial technologies into web applications including dynamic web maps, spatial commenting tools, and real-time connectivity with field survey activities.

I am experienced standing up full stack web applications from scratch using technologies such as Next.js, Docker, Azure DevOps, React, Angular as well as managing backend infrastructure using cloud database platforms including SQL Server and PostgreSQL. I write API’s using Node JS for creating dynamic web interfaces. In addition, I have an eye for design and am well versed in user interface (UI) libraries such as Material-UI and amCharts. With the rapid evolution of the software development landscape, my technical curiosity ensures my skills stay sharp through learning and implementing new technologies to solve big challenges.

I received a Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Science and a Minor in Spatial Studies from the University of Redlands in April, 2015. During my undergraduate work I volunteered and interned at non-profit organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions where I used GIS and related technology to support sustainable solutions. In 2016 I earned a Master of Science in Geospatial Technology at the University of Washington.
