Hans Vraga is a Web Informatics and Mapping (WIM) Project Manger with the Upper Midwest Water Science Center.
I enjoy the privilege of coordinating a group of highly skilled and motivated professionals in producing high-quality web applications in support of the USGS and other Federal partners' missions. My duties include scheduling and reporting on all WIM projects, serving as a member of the WIM Administration team, and acting as the primary point of contact with cooperators and external groups.
My brief professional history prior to this position:
I started my professional career as a CH-53E Super Stallion Helicopter Crew Chief in the United States Marine Corps. I turned ITIL disciple at the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) by way of a student position held while earning a BS in Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After a few years full time working with the Systems Engineering and Operations group at DoIT wearing Configuration, Incident, and Change Management hats, I moved to WIM to head up Project Management duties.

South Carolina Streams Stats: Phase 2
This project will enhance the USGS StreamStats web application in South Carolina (Phase II) by incorporating additional tools and functionality into the current (2019) application. In addition, a separate application, Floodplain Width and Indirect Determination of Extent (Flood WIDE), will be developed to incorporate functions that will provide additional tools for the SCDOT and other engineers...ICE! Ice Jam Hazard Mobile-Friendly Website
Ice jams are a major hazard. The project team worked with the US Army Corps of Engineers, National Weather Service, Silver Jackets, and USGS stakeholders to develop a mobile-friendly prototype of an Ice Jam Hazard website and reporting system. The prototype shows how ice jam conditions can be recorded nationwide. The public can view and download ice jam information. Historic ice jam locations and - Publications
