About me
Adam Cabrera leads the Geo Engineering team at King County’s GIS Center, where he helps teams modernize legacy systems without losing their sanity. With 30 years of GIS experience, he’s learned that the best tools fail without the right team habits—a lesson he’ll unpack in this talk.
Since 2022, Adam’s work has focused on making GIS more collaborative and equitable, from the award-winning ESJ Data Tool to streamlining King County’s aging app portfolio. But his real passion? Fixing how teams work together—whether through Agile pragmatism, ruthless knowledge-sharing, or designing systems that survive vacation season.
Adam’s leadership thrives on real-world fixes, not theory: He’d rather solve one messy problem with his team than debate ten perfect solutions.
