As a GIS Developer at URIMPACT, I designed and built three full-stack geospatial applications that turned environmental and location data into actionable tools, primarily using the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node.js). The first was a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions platform that allowed users to track and visualize emissions data. I developed it end-to-end and deployed it on AWS for scalability and reliability. The second was a tree plantation application built to support reforestation and monitoring efforts. I integrated Google Earth Engine for satellite and geospatial analysis and implemented a machine learning model that automatically counts trees from imagery, removing the need for manual counting and improving accuracy. The third was a client-facing dashboard that lets clients view tree-count results and monitor progress over time. It included a user management system for handling access, roles, and secure data viewing. Across all three projects, I worked on both the front-end and back-end, managed spatial data, integrated mapping and remote-sensing tools, and delivered solutions aligned with URIMPACT's environmental impact mission.
