Experience
San Francisco, CA
- Completed and validated a database-first Enterprise Transportation Routing System for San Francisco using PostgreSQL, PostGIS, pgRouting, SQL, and QGIS, delivering emergency response routing, accessibility, and infrastructure-inspection analysis through a tested, release-validated SQL workflow.
- Completed an ArcGIS Pro spatial statistics analysis of five years of San Francisco motor vehicle crime data, applying Kernel Density, Getis-Ord Gi* Hot Spot Analysis, and road-proximity analysis with documented QA/QC.
- Completed an ArcGIS Pro/ArcPy watershed and terrain analysis for the Upper South Fork New River watershed in North Carolina, applying DEM-based hydrologic modeling, sub-watershed delineation, and morphometric analysis through a QA/QC-validated workflow.
- Built five AI-powered spatial accessibility systems as part of LLM Agentic GeoAI Mastery certification, applying agentic Python workflows and OpenStreetMap datasets across four cities on three continents.
- Completed a six-project climate vulnerability visualization portfolio using Google Earth Engine, remote sensing, and raster analysis across California, Louisiana, Florida, and Rocky Mountain National Park; version-controlled via GitHub.
San Francisco, CA (Remote)
- Designed ArcGIS Experience Builder dashboard visualizing 7 school construction sites across Nepal — architected for two distinct donor audiences simultaneously: data-driven (construction status, funding progress, classroom counts, student reach, project timelines) and emotionally-driven (photography, narrative context, pop-up panels with community stories). Dashboard is the centerpiece of the organization's upcoming website overhaul.
- Stepped into solo event leadership for a 50–100 attendee fundraiser — managing logistics, volunteer coordination, and delivery schedules when the primary coordinator was unavailable — and met the $50,000–$60,000 fundraising target.
- Provides WordPress technical support and content management for 6–10 staff across 7+ iterations of the site; taught himself HTML/CSS and AI-generated code to implement custom responsive sponsor hover boxes (logos, descriptions, social links) without breaking existing templates.
Remote
- Delivered 20-map thematic series across 6 countries (Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Azerbaijan) supporting a U.S.-sponsored training program that reached 100+ participants in government, academia, and think tanks — integrating ~30 geospatial datasets.
- Reconstructed datasets that did not exist publicly: sourced regional maps and non-GIS materials, georeferenced them in ArcGIS Pro, and hand-digitized pipeline corridors, ethnic boundaries, and transportation networks feature by feature against basemaps. Three maps covering sensitive infrastructure corridors remain restricted.
- Adapted Python scripts within ArcGIS Pro to extract and display road network data across the multi-country series — ensuring consistent visualization and saving ~1 hour per map (20 hours total).
- Most technically complex work: six-map Caucasus demographic series requiring extensive spatial validation and manual boundary correction where ethnic group shapefiles were inconsistent or missing across countries.
Sunnyvale, CA
- Reviewed 1,000+ road network records per day — validating connectivity, speed limits, and turn restrictions within terabyte-scale Apple Maps geospatial datasets using Apple's proprietary internal mapping platform.
- Used an internal geospatial editing platform to view road networks alongside imagery, review flagged records, edit navigation attributes, and submit validated changes through a structured QA workflow.
Remote
- Produced 4 rapid-turnaround analytical GIS maps over 13 months supporting internal government research — covering Afghanistan mineral resource distribution, Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure corridors, and regional transportation networks.
- Integrated Belt and Road infrastructure dataset into ArcGIS environment; analyzed spatial relationships between infrastructure corridors, transportation networks, and regional geography to deliver decision-support products for government planning and research.
Marin County, CA (Remote)
- Mapped ~100 camera trap locations and scat observations for puma and bobcat across 520 sq mi of Marin County habitat (Muir Woods, Mount Tamalpais, Tennessee Valley, Rodeo Valley) using data spanning 2012–2018.
- Produced 2 maps reviewed with the research team — a camera trap and scat observation map and a regional tracking map — giving researchers spatial context to interpret movement corridors, observation clusters, and monitoring coverage gaps.
San Francisco, CA
- Maintained Salesforce CRM tracking participants and organizations across public events; managed data entry and recordkeeping for community engagement outreach. Designed event flyers using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Featured Projects
Python-Based Watershed Morphometric Analysis & Sub-Watershed Prioritization — ArcGIS Pro / ArcPy / Python, 2026
Built a DEM-based D8 hydrologic model from 30 m SRTM elevation data for the Upper South Fork New River watershed (North Carolina), delineating four major tributary sub-watersheds and a mainstem reference area and calculating drainage density, stream frequency, relief ratio, mean slope, bifurcation ratio, and circularity ratio to produce a ranked sub-watershed prioritization. Validated raster, vector, area, and overlap outputs through QA/QC, with a 0.029% difference between the final zone union and watershed boundary and zero detected basin overlap; delivered a publication-quality decision-support map.
Enterprise Transportation Routing System — Version 1.0.0 — PostgreSQL / PostGIS / pgRouting / QGIS, 2026
Completed and validated database-first enterprise GIS routing platform for San Francisco modeling 16,081 routable edges, 9,644 vertices, and 1,246.64 roadway miles. Implemented emergency response routing, nearest-facility accessibility, service coverage, and infrastructure inspection optimization through a numbered SQL build workflow with automated QA/QC, release testing, and backup/restore validation.
San Francisco Motor Vehicle Crime Spatial Analysis — ArcGIS Pro / Spatial Statistics, 2026
Analyzed 15,149 mapped motor vehicle crime incidents from 2021–2025 through a six-map ArcGIS Pro workflow combining point mapping, police-district and neighborhood Spatial Joins, Kernel Density, Getis-Ord Gi* Hot Spot Analysis, and road-proximity analysis. Documented analytical parameters, QA/QC, limitations, and interpretation in a 31-page GIS research report.
Climate Vulnerability Visualization — United States — Google Earth Engine, 2026
Completed six-project environmental GIS portfolio analyzing climate and environmental vulnerability across California, Louisiana, Florida, and Rocky Mountain National Park using Google Earth Engine, remote sensing, and raster analysis. Produced reproducible scripts, GeoTIFF exports, CSV summaries, technical documentation, and GitHub-managed workflows.
Electoral Systems Global Dashboard — ProRep Coalition, 2025
Interactive ArcGIS Online dashboard classifying electoral systems for 190+ countries, each verified against 5–6 independent sources before publication.
