ABOUT KRIPA R. THAPA
I’m a GIS Specialist who thrives at the crossroads of geospatial technology, environmental research, and energy. My work spans industry, academia, and government-funded projects, including U.S. Department of Energy backed CarbonSAFE initiatives and multi-state electric vehicle infrastructure resiliency planning. I bring deep expertise in the ArcGIS ecosystem (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Enterprise), advanced web GIS solutions, data visualization and cartography (Dashboards, StoryMaps, Experience Builder), and spatial analysis using Python (ArcPy) and R. From managing and optimizing organizational level GIS platforms to crafting interactive web applications and producing publication-quality maps, I excel at transforming complex spatial data into clear, actionable insights that drive decision-making and stakeholder alignment. Driven by a passion for sustainability and innovation, I’m committed to pushing the boundaries of what geospatial technology can do to tackle today’s most urgent environmental challenges. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about GIS, sustainability, or just curious about how geospatial tech can make a difference!
