Web GIS Analyst & Website Technical Support Lead | Building Education
September 2021 – Present
San Francisco, CA (Remote)
- Designed a staff-approved ArcGIS Experience Builder prototype for seven Nepal school sites: construction/funding, classroom counts, and timelines for analytical donors; photography and community-story pop-ups for narrative audiences. Built to expand in the website overhaul.
- Maintain WordPress for 6–10 staff across 7+ site iterations using self-taught HTML/CSS; led a 50–100 attendee fundraiser when the coordinator was unavailable, meeting the $50,000–$60,000 target.
GIS Mapping Specialist | Armenian Virtual College
January 2021 – August 2022
Remote
- Reconstructed missing datasets in ArcGIS Pro by georeferencing regional maps and hand-digitizing pipelines, ethnic boundaries, and transport networks; three sensitive maps remain restricted.
- Cross-checked sources and manually corrected inconsistent or missing boundaries for a six-map Caucasus ethnic-demographics series using independent sources.
- Integrated ~30 sources across six countries for U.S.-sponsored training reaching 100+ participants; adapted ArcGIS Pro Python scripts for consistent road mapping, saving roughly one hour per map.
GIS Technician | Apple via Apex Systems
March – April 2020
Sunnyvale, CA
- Validated 1,000+ Apple Maps road records daily against imagery for connectivity, speed limits, turn restrictions, and points of interest; submitted corrections through structured QA in regional datasets with hundreds of thousands of segments.
GIS Analyst | DoD-Affiliated Research Contract
July 2018 – August 2019
Remote
- Produced rapid-turnaround maps over 13 months on Afghan mineral resources, infrastructure corridors, and Belt and Road connectivity for government research; integrated infrastructure data in ArcGIS to analyze transportation and regional geography.
GIS Technician | Felidae Conservation Fund
June 2018 – February 2019
Marin County, CA (Remote)
- Mapped ~100 puma/bobcat camera-trap and scat locations across 520 sq mi of Marin County (2012–2018 data); delivered two research-team-reviewed maps of movement corridors, observation clusters, and monitoring gaps.
Data & Events Coordinator | Sunday Streets San Francisco
June – August 2017
