About Coy Leblanc
As a Senior Remote Sensing Scientist specializing in geospatial analytics, I design and deploy scalable solutions that integrate ESRI ecosystems with advanced data science and AI/ML workflows. I architect and optimize enterprise GIS environments (ArcGIS Pro, AGOL, Survey123, Field Maps, Dashboards), extending their capabilities through automation, predictive modeling, and intelligent data pipelines.My work bridges traditional GIS with modern analytics, enabling more efficient processing, analysis, and delivery of geospatial intelligence at scale.My work focuses on applying machine learning and computer vision to geospatial problems—transforming UAV and remote sensing data into actionable insights for industries such as oil & gas, municipal infrastructure, and post-storm disaster recovery. This includes vegetation classification, land vs. water analysis, and feature extraction using imagery and spatial datasets.I lead R&D initiatives that bridge traditional engineering workflows with emerging technologies, enabling more efficient data collection, analysis, and decision-making. My experience includes managing UAV operations, developing optimized flight strategies, and building repeatable pipelines that support field-to-office integration.With a strong background in project delivery, I manage complex, multi-agency efforts from initial client engagement through permitting and final approval, including environmentally sensitive projects involving wetlands and coastal systems.I am OLDEB-certified for Oyster Lease Damage Assessments along the Louisiana coast and hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certification. I am driven by applying innovative geospatial and AI-driven approaches to solve real-world challenges and improve operational outcomes.
