● Consulted on feasibility of CORA plantation digital monitoring vision and created an interactive map that can be hosted on their website to show progress over the development of the project.

● Created vector shape files in ArcGIS Pro for 2,300 Hectare plantation; split planting areas into 20-30 Hectare plots; classified riparian buffer zones, coastal buffer zones, community areas, and virgin rainforest regions.

● Published a Field Map for indigenous employees to collect points, lines, polygon data for offline use in remote Papua New Guinea to collect social mapping, biodiversity monitoring, and relevant data. Volunteer GIS Data Wrangler, Potomac Appalachian Trail Club Vienna, VA (11/23-1/24)

● Analyzed hundreds of points of interest (e.g. Shelters, Water Sources, Trail Junctions) on ArcGIS online to properly categorize and organize data for future trail maintenance and digital monitoring. Production Analyst, Fugro Frederick, MD (7/17-2/22)

● Vector data analysis and product development: Used ArcPro edit features to meticulously collect thousands of square miles of hydro data. Performed multi-step quality assurance checks and troubleshot 2D and 3D shape file issues. Assigned Z values by draping 2D shape file vertices with edited and finalized LiDAR. Deliverables met specifications within 0.5-foot of accuracy in elevation, 10-foot accuracy of water body shoreline.

● Raster data analysis: Generated Intensity Images to apply on remote sensing layers for manual Hydro data collection. Applied boresight calibration and performed strip alignment to point clouds. Visually scanned Digital Elevation Model to identify data anomalies for quality control corrections. Reclassified LiDAR point cloud data with LP360. Utilized MicroStation to generate contours.
