About

Ethos

Spatial data is at the core of how organizations plan, build, and operate. It shapes decisions about where to put infrastructure, how to manage resources, and how to understand the environments we work in. Yet the systems that manage this data rarely get the attention they deserve. They're treated as utilities rather than critical infrastructure.

Thorn Street is a geospatial engineering firm built to close that gap. We believe spatial systems should be designed with the same rigor and intention as the decisions they support.

Before founding Thorn Street, Connor worked in the defense sector. That experience shaped the firm's focus on reliable, production-grade geospatial infrastructure.

What sets us apart

Engineering-first

We design from the data model up, not from the GUI down.

Platform-agnostic

We select tools based on project requirements, working across open-source and proprietary (Esri) ecosystems.

Database specialists

Spatial data modeling, indexing, and query optimization rather than desktop GIS analysis.
