Experience:
GIS Project Assistant Intern | City of Seattle
Nov. 2024 - Present
• Developed geospatial workflows in ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online to analyze high-resolution aerial imagery for urban
planning and environmental monitoring, including feature extraction, data validation, and map production. Implement
ArcGIS deep learning models to extract key urban features (e.g., buildings, tree canopies, ADA-compliant infrastructure) from aerial imagery, optimizing geospatial data processing.
• Manage project lifecycle, including plan frameworks, charters, risk assessments, requirements, and status reports.
• Evaluate AI-generated spatial data (e.g., Ecopia) against LiDAR datasets and vectorized GIS records, standardizing methods to assess model accuracy, usability, and trade-offs in land classification.
• Document workflows, geospatial data pipelines, and automation process to improve AI-powered land classification models.
• Spearheaded integration of Esri ArcGIS with automated data pipelines, curating a 30% improvement in geospatial data
retrieval efficiency over a 6-month project cycle.
• Coordinated GIS projects by synthesizing AI analytics with ArcGIS solutions, achieving a 25% boost in predictive accuracy for urban environmental metrics over a 12-month period.
• Edited and maintained spatial databases, ensuring data integrity and adherence to Seattle GIS standards for infrastructure mapping.
