Sam Miller developed and maintained geospatial data infrastructure for the VERSO-UVM/Wastewater-Infrastructure-Mapping repository, focusing on scalable ingestion, management, and hygiene of GIS assets across over a dozen Vermont towns. Leveraging skills in data engineering, GeoJSON, and geospatial data management, Sam established standardized data models, implemented bulk file upload workflows, and transitioned datasets from placeholder scaffolds to production-ready assets. His work emphasized repository cleanliness by systematically removing obsolete files and enforcing consistent data packaging, which improved maintainability and supported downstream analytics. Through disciplined version control and asset lifecycle management, Sam enabled reproducible, ready-to-ingest geospatial datasets for infrastructure planning and analysis.

April 2025 monthly summary for VERSO-UVM/Wastewater-Infrastructure-Mapping: Focused on data readiness and repository hygiene for GIS data assets. Delivered updates to Wallingford GIS data package and established scaffolding for Ensoburg data, setting a maintainable foundation for future expansions. No high-severity bugs resolved this month; minor cleanup of placeholder data improved data hygiene and clarity for downstream teams.

February 2025 — Delivered production-ready geospatial data packages for Jamaica, Marshfield, and Northfield to enable immediate mapping and wastewater infrastructure planning. Implemented boundary, linear features, service areas, and WWTF locations in GeoJSON, with thorough cleanup of placeholder files. Datasets progressed from temporary placeholders to curated, production-ready files, ensuring reproducibility and freshness of data. This work accelerates mapping readiness, stakeholder onboarding, and data governance for the project. Technologies demonstrated include GeoJSON data packaging, geospatial data handling, and Git-based data lifecycle (temp creation, file upload, and cleanup).

December 2024: Delivered foundational GIS data packaging across four municipal areas in the VERSO-UVM/Wastewater-Infrastructure-Mapping repository, enabling consistent mapping of borders and related infrastructure for downstream analysis and planning. Implemented initial scaffolding and placeholder cleanup to establish reusable data packages and reduce ongoing maintenance burden. Performed repository hygiene improvements by removing obsolete GeoJSONs and placeholder files, reducing confusion and fostering reproducibility. Standardized the data packaging approach to support scalable deployment, governance, and auditability for future GIS work. These efforts set the stage for rapid feature delivery and data-driven decision-making in wastewater infrastructure projects.
