Background

About Daniel Joseph

I’m a geospatial analyst with a strong academic foundation in geography, GIS, and emergency services, and over four years of professional experience supporting national-level intelligence and mapping efforts. I specialize in high-accuracy data production, spatial analysis, and process optimization using ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and custom tools. Currently at Leidos, I support the NGA by managing complex geospatial workflows, leading tool development with a team of software engineers, and serving as the primary point of contact for interpreting and implementing updated policy guidance. I’ve also been entrusted as a senior quality control reviewer, verifying high-priority datasets to ensure precision and compliance with government standards. Prior to this, I contributed to U.S. Census Bureau projects at ASRC Federal, where I improved national geocoding accuracy and digitized vital geographic data using QGIS and Python. My early work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County included spatial research on undersea data cables and historical shipping routes, showcasing my ability to handle diverse and challenging geospatial datasets. Across every role, I bring a detail-oriented, collaborative approach to solving real-world problems with geographic insight and intelligence-driven solutions.
