President and founder of Loki Intelligent Corporation, a location information firm located in San Francisco, California, he is an expert in real-time geographic information systems and analysis automation. Along with Dara O'Beirne and Arini Geographics, he developed the real-time common operational picture used at Super Bowl 50 and all other events at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This dynamic system was recognized by the White House and ESRI President, Jack Dangermond, as a unique and powerful application of GIS, allowing the federal, state, and local government to coordinate and communicate in real time, for the first time ever. As the President of Loki Intelligent, Silas is focused on unique applications of GIS that will power the future of location information. The sheer amount of data collected through sensors and mobile reporting demands automation and data processing improvements to turn the raw input into location intelligence. He believes that correct application of geospatial analysis, web mapping, and mobile data collection will improve the decision-making processes within the government and business. Loki is location information, and information is power. Bill Parker is a GIS Professional with over 15 years of GIS and Python experience.
