H-GAC coordinates across 13 Gulf Coast counties (7M+ residents, 12,500 sq mi) on transportation, environmental planning, GIS, emergency services, and workforce development. The tech stack reflects a government organization mid-transition: heavy reliance on Microsoft (Azure, Power BI, Power Automate) and Esri geospatial tools (ArcGIS, PTV VISUM/VISSIM for traffic modeling), paired with active work on payroll system migration and HRIS-to-timesheet data reconciliation. Hiring is accelerating across ops and finance roles, with a focus on audit and compliance infrastructure.
