SELECTED WORK

Applied geospatial work at the intersection of terrain, natural hazards, remote sensing, and field science. Client-sensitive details are intentionally omitted.

POST-WILDFIRE DEBRIS-FLOW HAZARD & RISK

I develop spatial analyses that connect modeled debris-flow hazard and depth with roads, bridges, buildings, and other exposed infrastructure. The work translates complex terrain and hazard data into defensible findings that support mitigation, emergency planning, and recovery decisions.

GIS AUTOMATION & DECISION TOOLS

I build Python and ArcGIS tools that turn repeatable spatial workflows into reliable, auditable processes. One custom risk-analysis toolbox reduced work that previously took days or weeks to a matter of minutes while preserving the intermediate outputs needed for quality control.

UAV, LIDAR & PHOTOGRAMMETRIC MAPPING

As an FAA Part 107 remote pilot, I plan and execute aerial mapping missions and process imagery and point clouds into orthomosaics, terrain models, surface models, and other high-resolution geospatial products. My workflow includes GNSS, PPK, LiDAR classification, photogrammetric reconstruction, and accuracy review.

UAV LIDAR MAPPING IN COMPLEX SHORELINE TERRAIN

A field-based case study in airborne LiDAR acquisition, GNSS-supported positioning, mission planning, and terrain mapping across a demanding shoreline environment.

TERRAIN & GEOMORPHIC ANALYSIS

My graduate research examined how channel geometry influences debris-flow avulsion. Today I apply terrain modeling, geomorphic interpretation, and remote sensing to understand hillslope and channel behavior in landscapes affected by wildfire and mass movement.

MARS INSIGHT LANDING-ZONE RESEARCH

As an undergraduate research assistant supporting a NASA InSight participating scientist, I used Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery and GIS to interpret exposed stratigraphy near western Elysium Planitia and help characterize potential subsurface conditions within the landing region.

MOBILE ROADWAY LIDAR

I collected and validated mobile LiDAR and roadway imagery across the United States, troubleshooting collection systems and assessing data quality in the field. That experience built the practical foundation for my current work with large point-cloud and image datasets.
