GIS & Operations Associate
As a GIS & Operations Associate, Tara Wu supports the Operations team by managing GIS mapping, infrastructure data, and quality assurance processes to advance Bentley’s Blyncsy.AI technology. She brings expertise in geospatial analysis, disaster recovery assessments, and long-term infrastructure planning on federal lands. Her work includes extensive projects along the Appalachian Trail and in North Carolina’s National Forests, where she is also actively involved in trail building and maintenance.
Originally from Rhode Island, Tara is concluding her most recent graduate degree in Spatial Data Science (MSDS) at Pennsylvania State University. Her diverse background blends GIS, technical and non-technical communications, and community outreach, shaped by a former career in library and information management. Outside of work, she enjoys running and inline skating with her husband and is actively involved in animal fostering and rescue. She hopes to return to marathon running next year and is excited to bring her technical skills, strategic mindset, and collaborative spirit to Bentley Systems.
