GIS Specialist & Spatial Data Scientist

Mapping
the World
in Data.

I turn complex spatial data into clear, compelling maps and analyses — from satellite imagery to interactive web applications and publication-ready cartography.

GIS

I'm a GIS professional with expertise spanning interactive web mapping, satellite image analysis, geostatistics, and bespoke cartographic design. I've worked with federal agencies, NGOs, and private-sector clients to bring clarity to spatial problems — from urban planning to environmental monitoring to logistics optimization.

Selected Work
4 Projects

Spatial Analysis, Remote Sensing, Boundary Mapping

Arctic CIS Mapping Initiative

Geospatial intelligence products delivered across 8,000 miles of Arctic territory — informing boundary policy for the Arctic Council, Inuit Tribal Government, and U.S. Government.

Raster Analysis, Environmental GIS, Spatial Statistics, Thematic Cartography, Wildfire Risk Modeling

Wildfire Probability Analysis

MA Thesis research mapping wildfire probability across Marin County, California. Built a multi-layer Boolean raster analysis in ArcGIS Pro across seven environmental variables, refined with WUI modeling, and validated against 222 MODIS thermal anomaly points and a century of historical fire boundaries. Linear regression in GeoDa identified soil moisture and land cover as the strongest predictors of fire occurrence, while exposing limitations in FEMA's National Risk Index as a spatial risk model.

Remote Sensing, Archaeology, GIS Mapping, 3D Research, Drone Photography, Photogrammetry

Belize Archaeological Field School — Excavation, Survey & 3D Reconstruction

Field School for Archaeology that focuses on the educaion of Archeaology and methodoologies while conducting the excavation of Dos Hombres in Belize.

Python Development, GIS Automation, Spatial Analysis, GUI Design, ArcGIS Pro, 3D Visualization

Web/Desktop App Development - Bathymetry Tool

A standalone Python application automating lake depth analysis via ArcPy. Features a custom PyQt5 GUI for loading depth shapefiles, selecting interpolation methods, and executing the full pipeline — outputting contour maps, raster surfaces, volume calculations, and a 3D ArcScene visualization. Deployable in office or field environments, and packageable as a custom ArcGIS Pro toolbox.
