About
Nick Setliff
I’m an Army veteran, a software engineer, and a business leader who most recently ran operations and sales at a regional waste company. That last part explains the dumpster models.
The Army took me from Virginia to Hawaii, Texas, Iraq, and Afghanistan. My work as VP and COO covered a couple of transfer stations, an industrial landfill, collection routes, sales, and, most importantly, the people keeping it all running.
These days, I’m working independently on software, maps, and 3D. This site gives those projects a home, along with room to write about what goes into them.
What I work on
Operations
Facilities, fleets, routes, and the people behind them.
Software

GIS & maps
Terrain, contours, and place-based work.
