A personal portfolio showcasing some cross-disciplinary works in cartography, geography and geospatial analysis

Geospatial Analyses & GIS

Cartography

Work involving maps for print, screen, and web including infographics, web-map applications, research tools, retail map products, brochures, flyers, signs, videos, permitting and regulatory documents

Geospatial

Analytical projects involving market research, demographics, site-selection/suitability, lead generation, hydrology/FEMA, academia, heatmaps/interpolation, and data generation

Creativity

Artistic pursuits mostly involving wood carving and wood burning including 3D carved relief maps and cityscapes of renowned places on the Earth and on other planets within our solar system

Travel-time choropleth map

Colorburst bicycle travel time map for a residential address in a US city. This was designed as a poster map, so at a quick glance one could plan a quick outing on a bike

Real estate market analytics

Data aqcuisition and analysis targeting comparable homes for investment opportunities

Housing crisis analyses and solutions

Assessing the potency of proposed regulatory changes along public transportation routes. The analysis targeted certain types of housing units within a given proximity to transportation infrastructure

Route optimization (darkest drive)

A cost accumulation network was developed incorporating light pollution data to determine the darkest possible route transiting the US coast-to-coast

Cost-benefit in bulk freight shipping

Refining distribution region using a cost-benefit analysis on sales quantity and shipping costs by zipcode

Insolation modeling (sunlight map)

The amount of annual incoming direct and indirect sunlight was computed for a dense metropolitan area. The model was then used to select ideal buildings for rooftop agriculture ignoring those with excessive shade from nearby buildings

Suitability analysis for business venture

Global shipping ports were assessed thru a complex scoring system gauging target market demographics, climatological demand factors, population density, and proximity to nearby ports. The data and results were made available via a custom web map application

Distance to coast choropleth map

Determining the average geodesic distance from suburbs to coastal waters

New store site selection analysis

Site selection using key demographic data and accessibility/drive-time proximity metrics

Correlating vehicle traffic and sales

Daily vehicle count data analyzed against restaurant sales totals identified hot-spots and corridors of high exposure, high performing real estate

Restaurant sales performance
