Summary

Josie Steffens, a Design Engineer at ICON Engineering in Denver, specializes in floodplain analysis and master planning, primarily collaborating with local governments and municipalities, along with smaller clients and contractors. She utilizes QGIS daily for its robust modeling features, such as the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), which she prefers over paid alternatives. Although HEC-RAS is highly effective, sharing its results can be challenging because stakeholders need to access the model on their desktops or wait for project completion to give feedback. The 'Add to Felt' plugin has resolved this issue by enabling Josie to display QGIS results online for easy sharing and feedback, making it an essential component of her mapping toolkit.
