Interactive map of Vermont showing towns classified by flood risk versus FEMA mitigation funding alignment

Floodlines

Vermont flood risk and federal hazard-mitigation funding — a geospatial analysis of whether FEMA dollars reach the communities that face the greatest flood risk and social vulnerability.

Built using Python, GeoPandas, and spatial analysis across FEMA flood-risk, insurance claims, Census demographics, and municipal datasets. An interactive Leaflet/D3 dashboard lets users compare definitions of need, examine funding gaps, and explore results town by town.

Capital Crashpad

Washington DC's short-term rental market contracted by nearly 1,800 listings in a single quarter. This project investigates the structural break — and what platform governance can do that city law cannot.

Walk to Mordor

5,196 miles of real walking mapped onto three journeys through Middle-earth. Two parallel timelines — the walker's and Tolkien's — share the same route geometry while preserving distinct dates and movement patterns.

These are independent projects — developed to practice methods, explore interesting questions, and build tools worth building. They are not client engagements. Additional work and field notes will be added as the practice grows.
