Modern Geospatial Architect 🌍

You're good at what you do, maybe even great.

But the tools around you haven't evolved as fast as the world has.

Your company might still be asking for maps when they should be asking for systems.

You're stuck between desktop workflows and engineering teams that don't speak your language.

And you know deep down you're capable of far more.

That's why I built mgx, the modern GIS expert program.

It's specifically built for professionals who are ready to go beyond maps and start architecting the systems that drive the future of geospatial.

Look, here's the truth.

Traditional GIS is not designed for the problems we're solving today.

that stack was built for small data, single users and local machines.

It breaks the moment you try to scale it.

If you've tried to do it, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world has moved on to cloud, native, distributed and AI driven systems.

The future of GIS isn't about shapefiles or desktop tools.

It's about formats like GeoParquet and Iceberg, tools like Airflow and AI models that run on cloud infrastructure.

the professionals who understand this new stack are leading the industry and they are in demand.

They're not just analysts anymore, they're architects, data engineers, and most importantly, technical leaders.

The MGX program was built to make you one of them.

So let's talk about why this matters right now.

If you search through LinkedIn, or indeed for geospatial engineer, spatial data scientist, or GIS architect, you'll see lots of roles asking for skills like these.

Things like Python, SQL, Spark, Sedona, Airflow, Apache, Iceberg cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, and modern tools that aren't what you're using today.

Ten years ago, those words didn't appear in GIS or geospatial job descriptions at all.

Now they're everywhere.

And yet no traditional GIS program teaches them.

Universities still primarily focus on map production and cartography in desktop GIS systems.

Boot camps, on the other hand, cover generic data science and programming, not geospatial specifically.

And most importantly, no one teaches how to connect the two to actually build modern scalable systems and think like an architect, not just a technician.

And that's why so many GIS professionals I talk to feel stuck.

They can see the opportunity, but the path is not clear.

And here's the kicker.

These roles are some of the highest paid and most future proof in the entire ecosystem.

Oftentimes we're talking about six figure positions in climate, tech, mobility insurance, logistics and AI.

Even government agencies are starting to get on board.

Yet right now there's no structured way to learn these skills.

You either have to piece it together yourself or try to figure it out using AI and do your best to get there.

this is the exact gap that the MGX program fulfills.

It takes what's happening in the market.

Cloud computing, AI integration, open spatial formats gives you the exact roadmap to lead in this new environment.

So when I say this is your moment, it's not an actual tagline, it's the actual window of opportunity before everyone else catches up.

MGX is an eight week accelerator that takes you from GIS professional to modern geospatial architect.

Someone who can design, build and lead scalable spatial systems.

You're not only going to master the technical stack, but you're going to learn the strategic thinking that makes your work matter.

How to design with cost, scalability and impact in mind.

we're not just trading skills of button clicking to programming with code, but actually building systems that are strategic and important to your organization.

Creating you as a technical leader.

By the end of the program you'll leave with the skills, confidence and the portfolio design, real world geospatial systems and the clarity to position as a technical leader, not just a technical resource.

Here's what the journey looks like.

Week one is all about the modern geospatial mindset.

Breaking free from the traditional paradigm.

Learning how the new stack, Python, SQL and open tools and how to build your own micro modern gis.

Week two is about spatial ETL and interoperability.

Going to use different open geospatial cloud native formats using tools like Airflow, Iceberg and Stack to move data between systems and create analytic ready pipelines.

In week three it's all about scaling and leveraging compute strategically.

Understanding the difference between distributed versus single node processing, cost optimization and when to scale up or to scale out.

Week four we're going to jump into spatial AI and machine learning.

You learn how to integrate AI models, vector databases and agentic tools into your workflows as well as regular machine learning and deep learning models, when to use each and how they fit together.

you'll learn how to build dashboards when to build a business intelligence Dashboard versus a spatial analytics dashboard how to scale up and build full scale web applications and prototypes on mobile using different tools and systems in week six we're talking about cloud systems and infrastructure, talking about terms like containerization, orchestration and deploying spatial systems within Docker and Kubernetes and how to build out spatial systems in the cloud.

Week seven will dig into product design and architecture.

You're going to learn how to think like a product manager, designing spatial systems that connect data and business outcomes and how to build this within a much larger order organization.

In week eight it's all about career strategy and storytelling.

You're going to master the art of technical storytelling and career positioning.

Learn how to position and communicate the impact that you bring to an organization and build your influence inside your industry.

When you join mgx, you're not just getting lessons, you're getting a system for transformation.

As I mentioned, there's the eight week accelerator that's going to be focused on project based learning for working professionals.

We'll dig into a cloud systems and architecture lab to build and deploy real production grade systems.

You'll leave with a final capstone portfolio showcasing your modern geospatial systems to employers and teams.

I'll also include a bonus one on one architecture review and portfolio feedback to provide direct technical review to ensure you're industry ready now for programming, I'm including Python and Spatial SQL, swipe files with ready to use queries and scripts for real world ETL analytics and AI workflows.

There are also AI tools for career design.

You can use purpose built AI frameworks to structure your outreach, map your career path and how to target high value roles.

Plus as a bonus I'm including a one year Spatial Lab membership.

This gets you access to live workshops, community mentorship and ongoing support after the MGX program.

And you'll get access to a lifetime community for MGX graduates only.

Altogether it's more than $12,000 in real world value.

The founding cohort gets it to you for $4,000 before the price increases to 8,000 in future cohorts I want this decision to be completely risk free for you too.

That's why I built the mgx.

No risk guarantee.

If you go through mgx, complete the projects and you don't have the skills, confidence and portfolio to design a modern geospatial system, I'll personally coach you until you do or you get a refund in full.

You either become a confident modern geospatial architect with measurable career growth or you pay nothing and still get my help.

That's how much I believe in this program.

so if you're ready to stop becoming the person who just uses the system and become the person who designs it, apply now for the MGX founding cohort.

This is your chance to master the modern stack, build your portfolio and finally step into the kind of role where your ideas shape how geospatial data works at scale.

Click below to apply.

You'll either graduate with the skills, confidence and portfolio to lead or I'll personally make sure you get there.

That's the MGX promise.

Let's build the future of geospatial together.
