I have built and tuned PostgreSQL databases for many purposes, usually to house spatial data. Much of the work I have done involves designing solutions which work around many of the obstacles presented by ArcSDE's quirks.

Honestly, all of my experiences with Dojo involved having to reverse engineer it to figure out why it was breaking things. The folks at ESRI did an outstanding job writing the JavaScript API for ArcGIS Server, but I have found building applications w/ Dojo to be an intensely frustrating experience. If you're building an application w/ Dojo (even if it's not a mapping app), or are integrating a chunk of Dojo-based code into an existing app, and want to jump off a bridge, reach out to me!

I have installed, configured and worked with ArcGIS Server quite a bit. Specifically, this involves building Map Services which are optimized for the server, writing address locater and publishing geoprocessing services. I've also worked with the REST API both with the ArcGIS JavaScript API, as well as with standalone scripting processes (Python) If you're having trouble setting up proxies, or getting Map Services to behave...I can help

I've done a ton of stuff w/ Arc Desktop...here's a few highlights. * Building highly optimized and customized address locators for the county I live in. This includes creating composite address locators based on multiple street, address point and parcel feature classes. * I can make pretty maps * With the advent of the arcpy.mapping module I've done a great deal to automate the production of map series, reparation of data sources and publication to map services on ArcGIS Server. This ended up being extremely useful when putting together map books that used data frames displaying ArcSchematics layers * I've worked a great deal with the Spatial Analyst and Network Analyst extensions, both in the Desktop and Server context. * With a college education in Geography, I can help de-mystify projected and geographic coordinate systems. ...
