Before I knew what GIS was, I spent hours studying road atlases—tracing transportation routes, examining rivers and boundaries, and exploring how geography shaped the connections between places. My first GIS course introduced me to ArcMap and showed me how that curiosity could become a practical analytical discipline.
Since then, I’ve worked across defense-affiliated research, conservation, international development, and civic technology. These experiences reinforced a consistent approach: understand the geographic problem, organize the underlying data, validate the analysis, and communicate results for the people who need them. Some projects involved reconstructing geographic information from incomplete sources or working with sensitive materials that are not publicly displayed.
My recent work has expanded into Python automation, remote sensing, spatial databases, transportation network analysis, and GeoAI. I continue developing these capabilities through applied projects, professional training, and engagement with the geospatial community. I’m especially interested in GIS roles where technical rigor, data quality, and practical problem-solving are central to the work.
