About
I'm urban planner and systems analyst working at the intersection of transportation, spatial analytics, and decision intelligence, specializing in translating spatial data, optimization models, and scenario analysis into actionable planning strategies.
My work focuses on building data-driven tools that help planners and agencies understand complex urban systems and make more resilient infrastructure decisions.
Methods & Tools
I work through a structured, data-driven process, from framing the decision problem, to building spatial datasets, to testing scenarios and constraints.
My methods combine GIS and quantitative modeling to translate complex systems into clear, decision-ready insights.
