  • Performed Remote Sensing tasks by employing sources ranging from satellite imagery, and text-scraping to mobile devices.
  • Streamlined, automated, and maintained GIS data layers and geoprocessing and facilitate geographic data exchange with Cities.
  • Created and analyzed cartographic maps including map for Vietnam War bombing missions showing where bombing missions were concentrated.
  • Created and analyzed maps of devastating Tornado that struck and destroyed 80% of structures within its 1-mile-wide path and nearly 60-miles long path in Mississippi, which was used by our agency to prepare report which showed estimate of value of structures that were destroyed to enable affected town to apply for appropriate federal and state assistance.
  • Used Data from NOAA Coastal Services Center to map and analyze intensity of two hurricanes (Katrina and Emily) that took place during 2005, for Survey and Analysis of Natural Disasters.
  • Used data from Multispectral Satellite and other Remote Sensor Imageries to produce maps used in Survey and Analysis of Earth Resources, including calculation of spectral reflectance levels for different land use and land cover types.
  • Used dataset from Geodatabase to perform Geocoding by creating Geometric representations for descriptions of locations and converted non-spatial descriptions of places into spatial descriptions.
  • Used data from SEDAC to create maps used by agency to identify population of people in various U.S cities that are highly vulnerable in event of natural and environmental disasters like Hurricane, Flooding, Tornadoes and Terrorist Attacks, or any other event which might prompt immediate evacuations of cities.
  • Created maps and cartographic representations by using queries and spatial information of geographic features to find best locations suitable for particular businesses to aid in location of new store developments and marketing.
  • Demonstrated strong organizational and time management skills while managing multiple projects and performed additional GIS tasks and operations as required.
  • Collaborated effectively within cross-functional team, delivering high-quality results on time.
