GIS, Systems, and the work between them

About

Software Engineering Technology graduate now focused on GIS and business systems analysis. I'm drawn to the space where data becomes decision-making — where a clean schema or a well-mapped workflow quietly changes how an organization works.

Before tech, the path took its time. I studied linguistics, taught languages, and worked as a certified interpreter. I ran a small e-commerce business. I worked in marketing operations and nonprofit administration. The range is the point — I can move between technical and non-technical contexts without losing either side.

Projects

Selected work

Featured Project

CityFlow

Full-stack municipal asset management — React frontend, Node.js API, PostgreSQL database, live GIS map, and AI-assisted triage (experimental) built on the Anthropic Claude API.

5 pages 15+ REST endpoints 6 DB tables AI-assisted triage (experimental) 30+ mapped assets
Interactive map — live asset pins by category (Leaflet + OpenStreetMap)
AI triage — Claude API classifies and prioritises every service request
Work order lifecycle — create, assign, update, resolve with audit log
Executive dashboard — KPI charts, resolution stats, and trend lines
React 18 Node.js + Express PostgreSQL Claude API Leaflet.js Recharts Tailwind CSS Vite

Featured Project

London ON Bikeability Analysis

A spatial analysis of London's cycling network, built on City of London open data — Can-BICS classification, walking-distance access buffers, and a gap analysis.

ArcGIS Pro Can-BICS classification 500 / 400 / 200 m buffers Gap analysis
55%

of the city has no comfortable cycling access nearby

Map of London's cycling-access gap — red marks the areas more than a short walk from a comfortable cycling facility
Every route classified with Can-BICS, the Statistics Canada national standard
Walking-distance access buffers scaled to comfort — 500 / 400 / 200 m
Buffers unioned, then erased from the city to map the gap
The finding: 55% has no comfortable access; on-street alone reaches ~24%

Studies

Four lenses on municipal service requests

Same problem domain — municipal service requests — explored through four lenses before I assembled them into CityFlow. Each study is a stage of learning: schema design, REST API patterns, spatial publication, then process modeling.

Study 01

Schema design

First I needed to understand how municipal service request data should be structured. Designed a normalized 6-table schema with foreign keys, indexes, and a status history audit trail.

MySQL · normalization · audit trail

Study 02

REST API patterns

Built an 8-endpoint Spring Boot REST API around that schema — full CRUD plus filtering, keyword search, and an analytics endpoint. Production config included.

Java 17 · Spring Boot · Hibernate · H2 / MySQL

Study 03

Spatial publication

Published the data spatially in ArcGIS Online as a hosted feature layer — plus a Leaflet.js browser version loading from CSV with no backend.

Study 04

Process modeling

Stepped back and modeled the underlying business process — current-state mapping, root cause analysis of 7 pain points, redesigned workflow with SLA escalation.

GIS Projects

Spatial data & dashboards

Hosted feature layers, interactive maps, and operational dashboards built with ArcGIS Online — turning raw service request data into spatial insight.

London 311 Operations Dashboard

Live operational dashboard visualizing 50 simulated 311 service requests — interactive map, total count indicator, issue-type pie chart, priority bar chart, and a searchable request list. Built on a hosted ArcGIS Online feature layer.

GIS Service Request Map — London ON

50 simulated 311 service requests published as an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer, styled by issue type with unique symbols. Includes a Leaflet.js browser version loading directly from CSV — no backend required.

ArcGIS Story Maps

Spatial stories

Maps built with ArcGIS Story Maps — combining spatial data, layers, and narrative to make geographic information readable and useful.

🗺️Lifecycle

CityFlow — Service Request Lifecycle

One pothole through the full lifecycle of a municipal service request — intake, AI triage, dispatch, resolution. Anchored on Oxford & Richmond, London ON.

Illustrative composite — not real City of London data.

🌍Audit

Reading London's Open Data Through a BSA Lens

A BSA-lens read of how London publishes its open spatial data — what the datasets do well, where the gaps are. In progress.

📍Infrastructure

London ON Bikeability Infrastructure

A spatial walkthrough of London's cycling network — Can-BICS comfort classes, access buffers, and the gap. Gated by Phase 2 ArcGIS Pro work.

Full-stack apps

Things I've built

Three ASP.NET Core MVC apps — each solving a real problem, each running live. Built on EF Core + SQLite, containerized with Docker, deployed on Render.

LingoSync — Interpreter Scheduling

Assigns interpreters to appointments across languages, with live conflict detection that flags double-bookings before they happen. Calendar view and full appointment lifecycle.

ASP.NET Core MVC · EF Core · SQLite

CertPath — Study Tracker

Tracks certifications, logs study sessions, and visualizes consistency with a 30-day study heatmap and daily streak counter. Modeled on my own Esri Academy and AZ-900 workflow.

ASP.NET Core MVC · EF Core · SQLite

Vocana — Vocabulary & Review

Multi-language vocabulary platform built around the SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm. Deck-based organization, multiple-choice quizzes, keyboard-driven flashcard reviews.

Live demos run on Render's free tier — the first load may take ~30s to wake.
