John V. Kenny - GIS Professional and Web Developer

Welcome!

Hey, I'm John Kenny. I thrive at the intersection of data, design, and community impact, leveraging GIS, analytics, and creative problem-solving to drive meaningful change. With a strong foundation in political science and nonprofit leadership, I build tools, map insights, and develop strategies that empower organizations to become more effective, efficient, and accessible to the communities they serve. I'm passionate about finding innovative solutions that bridge gaps and foster connections. Outside of work, I'm always exploring—whether that means hiking new trails, experimenting with emerging technologies, or seeking out unexpected ways to connect ideas, people, and experiences.
