About Me
I'm a GIS analyst and spatial data scientist with an M.S. in Cartography & Geographic Information Sciences from UW‑Madison, building tools at the intersection of spatial analysis, machine learning, and interactive web mapping.
My portfolio spans 36 deployed projects covering public safety analytics, environmental risk modeling, climate displacement forecasting, and urban equity research — built with Python, Leaflet, Streamlit, PostGIS, and satellite remote-sensing pipelines. I engineer full data workflows from raw government and satellite datasets through to published, interactive web applications.
Professionally, I've applied GIS in civil engineering at Bono Consulting and Primera Engineers, and in municipal government at the Village of Wilmette — developing plan sets, topographic surveys, and data visualizations for infrastructure projects. I'm currently open to GIS analyst, spatial data scientist, and remote sensing roles in Florida, North Carolina, and remote positions.
