System of record
Feature services, enterprise geodatabases, and identity — Esri still owns the operational GIS layer for many federal and utility orgs.
Why Esri
When ArcGIS is the architecture
Most of my career lives here: Portal, Server, geodatabases, Python ETL, and secure web maps. This lab is where I show modern Maps SDK patterns on top of that foundation.
Maps SDK for JS
Modern web clients can sit on the same services as ArcGIS Pro. I use that bridge for dashboards, editing tools, and Vector Ledger–style workflows.
Python + geoprocessing
ArcPy, REST admin APIs, and scheduled ETL remain how large agencies keep layers trustworthy at scale.
Security context
Portal auth, network isolation, and enterprise security rules change how you design maps. This hub will document those constraints honestly.
Built with Esri
Playground projects
Live client work stays private. Public demos show Maps SDK validation patterns related to Vector Ledger-style checks — without Portal secrets.
Validation
Validation Desk
Propose ski ops-note edits on a client-side FeatureLayer — domain, Colorado AOI, and uniqueness checks before accept. Vector Ledger lite.
