I was solely responsible for designing an interactive mapping application for Richmond's Climate Vulnerability & Risk Assessment as part of their RVAgreen 2050 City Sustainability Plan. I created an informative Story Map for the city, as well as a web application using Web AppBuilder. These applications are linked below. I had fun experimenting with creating my own widgets in Web AppBuilder Developer. I also conducted a spatial analysis on 89 different built asset groups in Richmond to assess… Show more I was solely responsible for designing an interactive mapping application for Richmond's Climate Vulnerability & Risk Assessment as part of their RVAgreen 2050 City Sustainability Plan. I created an informative Story Map for the city, as well as a web application using Web AppBuilder. These applications are linked below. I had fun experimenting with creating my own widgets in Web AppBuilder Developer. I also conducted a spatial analysis on 89 different built asset groups in Richmond to assess how many fell within the 100- and 500-year floodplains, thus determining flood risk. These efforts are useful in helping the city prepare for the expected impacts of climate change. In total, I produced several hundred maps, layers, graphs, and online services for the City of Richmond. Throughout my time here, I have completed other tasks for the city including:• Produced over 100 graphs visualizing different seasonal weather patterns in Virginia.• Created and managed several extensive databases on varying data, such as disaggregating all social vulnerability factors by race for each census tract using American Fact Finder, or organizing all weather fatalities in Virginia by storm event type from the years 1951-2019, for example.I have gained many skills from this experience, including project planning and management, a further comprehension of data analysis and visualization, spreadsheet and database management, user-experience design, front-end web development (using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), Esri Story Map & Web AppBuilder creation, and greater capability in all aspects of GIS.
