I help conduct impact assessment research of Zipline's intervention -- focusing on health and environmental outcomes. Approaches may include those geared towards Sustainability, ESG, DEI, Health Equity, Environmental Equity, Climate Equity, and Spatial Epidemiology. These efforts aim to monitor and evaluate Zipline's ongoing impact on global, regional and local communities.

Specialist Senior in Tech Strategy & Analytics- Built a nationwide Health Equity impact dashboard for a major U.S. federal agency; built to describe the location of disadvantaged communities in the context of transportation. This dashboard will be used to assess transportation funding in the context of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Justice40 executive order. The intention is for this to aid in the allocation of IRA transportation funds to communities with historically disproportionately less investment.

-Developed approaches for spatially developing, testing, and deploying optimized AI/ML predictive models in Public Health research-Managed and supervised five data analysts for a health and geospatial study, extracting insights and analyzing user results to prioritize product development features-Conducted spatial modeling analysis public and private data -Developed geospatial machine learning models by programming advanced analytics and data visualization tools -Evaluated and recommended health technology for research, leading to a 23% increase in user engagement -Designed, built, tested and deployed new GIS tools to evaluate individual activity spaces using fitness sensors, geospatial modeling, and cloud computing to quickly process petabytes of satellite imagery; distilling and interpreting data into data visualizations to achieve development goals -Created statistical methods for misaligned data; partnering with Data, Product and IT collaborators to deliver various spatial datasets, cleaned and prepared to specific sensor specifications to increase automation-Brake and Tire-wear study: designed site selection method for deployment of air monitoring devices and aided in data analyzingAwards: Achieved the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health-Southern California Education & Research Center (NIOSH SC-ERC) Student Pilot Project Award for co-managing a wellness and fitness sensing technology study

Center for Environmental Research and Children's Health (CERCH) - Presented the pilot program (mSpray) with the Malaria Control Program of Limpopo Province, South Africa (a population of 5.5 million) to monitor cell phone technology the exact location of spraying of toxic DDT and pyrethroid insecticides used against mosquitoes - Tested and implemented this pilot program, mSpray, and showed the ability of the program to generate accurate GPS data of insecticide applications; This program is now likely to be permanently adopted by Limpopo Province, and two other provinces with high malaria rates in South Africa. - Created spatial models for determining cohort subject enrollment eligibility for a UC Berkeley study (VHEMBE), a birth control study of effects of pesticides used for malaria control, enrolling 750 pregnant women to better understand the neurodevelopmental effects of preterm pesticide exposure - Generated and analyzed spatial variables for use in regression models, specifically aimed at explaining distribution of DDT and DDE biomarker levels in VHEMBE cohort participants
