For years, I’ve watched incredibly smart people struggle to break into modern GIS.
Not because they weren’t capable.
Not because they didn’t want to learn.
But because the options for learning — especially continuing education — are frustratingly limited.
You can go back to school for a master’s degree, spending thousands of dollars and years of your life only to graduate with knowledge that’s already a step behind the tools being used today.
Or you can try to learn on your own, bouncing between YouTube tutorials, fragmented online courses, and outdated documentation, hoping to stitch together the skills you actually need.
What I’ve come to realize is this: people don’t want another massive course or another degree. They want to learn specific, modern skills and they want the flexibility to do it in small pieces or as part of a larger path.
They want a system that acknowledges their work, respects their time, and recognizes them with real, verifiable proof of what they’ve done.
Meanwhile, the geospatial world is shifting — fast:
And yet, the way we teach these skills hasn’t kept up. That’s the gap I want to close.
The Modern GIS "Bricks" approach is built from frustration, and from hope for something new.
I was tired of watching talented people waste time trying to piece together knowledge from outdated courses, YouTube rabbit holes, and vendor docs. I wanted to give them a clear path:
A modular, modern, fast way to build spatial skills that matter.
