Professional Experience

GIS Technician - UDC - Summer 2023 to Present

  • Mapped electrical utility network features and connectivity based on “As-Built” construction documentation
  • Worked with electrical utility clients to manage geospatial data layers in a relational database using ArcMap and ArcFM
  • Performed QA/QC on mapping work performed prior to being posted to the client's database
  • Facilitated discussions with the client regarding required clarifications in documentation discrepancies and mapping practices

GIS Intern - NuStar Energy - Summer 2022

  • Utilized Intrepid software to manage and rectify pipeline feature data
  • Analyzed and imported data and files from as-built schematics and field reports into a geospatial pipeline database
  • Utilized ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online to create and modify dashboards and maps to track the real-time collection of spatial data in the field

Academic Experience

WebGIS - Spring 2023

  • Utilized HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to develop an interactable web map that displayed a polygon layer with choropleth symbolization dependent on user selection of variables and years using buttons and a time slider
  • Customized pop-up information on a Leaflet map to show a graph of the data with a temporal scale for the selected feature
  • Utilized ArcGIS Online to create interactive web maps and story maps that displayed various datasets

GIS Programming - Fall 2021

  • Creation of ArcGIS Pro toolboxes using Python and usage of ArcPy functions on polygon and raster datasets
  • Automated processing and joining of spatial and tabular data using Python
  • Cartographic symbolization of processed data with ArcGIS Pro and ArcPy

GIS Practicum - Fall 2022

  • Created numerical models representing water and human sustainability
  • Generated land cover information from Landsat imagery in ENVI using the ISODATA classification algorithm
  • Performed classification and manipulation of spatial data in ArcGIS Pro
  • Ran sustainability simulations for multiple water and human resource management strategies and scenarios

Geodatabases - Fall 2021

  • Use of SQL and Excel to sort and derive statistical measurements from multiple sets of tabular data
  • Used basic SQL queries in Microsoft SQL Server
  • Cartographic symbolization of derived measurements using ArcGIS Pro
  • Analysis of spatial patterns using derived measurements

Digital Image Processing in the Geosciences - Spring 2023

  • Used Digital Image Processing (DIP) software such as ENVI to apply a range of methods and algorithms to remotely sensed data
  • Created information products from remotely sensed data
  • Qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated the quality and accuracy of remotely sensed data

Programming Languages - Spring 2023

  • Learned about functional programming language concepts and principles through Haskell
  • Explored object-oriented programming concepts and principles through Java
  • Studied the characteristic features of both languages and implemented complex data types, classes, and algorithms with each
  • Beecame familiar with both Java and Haskell at an intermediate level - classes, interfaces, concurrency, generics, monads, higher-order functions, etc..

Data Structures and Algorithms - Fall 2022

  • Learned and implemented basic search and sorting algorithms in C++
  • Designed complex data types to develop functional and object-oriented solutions
  • Learned how to develop more robust programs with error handling
  • Created classes that utilized dynamic memory

Intro to Program Design and Concepts - Spring 2022

  • Learned about basic programming concepts and principles
  • Designed and implemented algorithms and abstract data types
  • Became familiar with the C++ programming language and how memory, pointers, and references operate in a programming language
