Background

About Nathan Exley

As a GIS Manager at Baylor University, I unified 9 million square feet of indoor space into a single, floor-aware GIS—replacing scattered PDFs, CAD files, and tribal knowledge with living, governed data for an estimated $165k in annual savings to the university. I specialize in turning complex spatial data into powerful, actionable insights that drive operational efficiency, strategic planning, and long-term cost savings. I bridge the gap between geospatial intelligence and facilities operations with ArcGIS Pro, CAD-to-GIS integration, and interactive Esri apps like Dashboards, Field Maps, and Experience Builder. My passion lies in creating intelligent, data-informed environments that empower teams to make better decisions—faster. Whether it's building a digital twin of a university campus or optimizing asset management through spatial analytics, I thrive on projects that blend technical precision with strategic impact.
