Meet Kristine Kahler
I’m a GIS professional with 10+ years of experience building geospatial tools and modern web experiences. I blend mapping, automation, and clean design to turn complex data into clarity people can use.
Interactive maps that feel like products—not portals.
Pipelines that keep dashboards fresh and reliable.
Narratives + layers + guided exploration, done clean.
Make patterns obvious so people act faster.
From geospatial to full-stack
With a Master’s in Geospatial Technology, I specialize in ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, SQL, and cloud platforms. I build dashboards, story maps, and custom applications that make complex systems easier to understand.
My passion for geospatial storytelling shows up in projects like Echoes of the Land (an interactive map of Indigenous trails) and web experiences that combine mapping with real-time data.
I bring corporate experience from roles at companies like HDR Inc. and National Grid, and pair it with freelance creativity—so your project gets both structure and imagination.
The tools I build with
I choose stacks that ship fast, scale cleanly, and stay maintainable.
Analysis, cartography, editing workflows, field data.
Pipelines, ETL, APIs, automation, reproducible analysis.
Cloud hosting, data services, integration patterns.
Next.js, Leaflet, dashboards, modern UI systems.
Work I’m proud of
A few highlights that show how I blend data, UX, and storytelling.
Interactive map of Indigenous trails, cultures, and living history.
A storymap exploring the intersection of faith and mental wellness.
Automation + geospatial planning for turbine inspection and field ops.
Interactive map of tribal nations, treaties, and historic boundaries.
