Selected Projects

Glaciology Mapping Project

Google Earth Pro · Satellite Imagery · Spreadsheet Analysis

  • Mapped the extent of Grinnell Glacier across a 7-year period using Google Earth Pro and satellite imagery.
  • Created planimetric maps and longitudinal topographic profiles to compare glacier boundaries and elevation change.
  • Calculated area change, percentage change, and rate of glacial retreat; interpreted spatial patterns in relation to climatic processes.

Hydrological Terrain Analysis, River Dovey

ArcGIS Pro · Spatial Analyst · Hydrological Modelling

  • Derived a complete drainage network from an SRTM digital elevation model using the ArcGIS Pro Hydrology toolbox (fill, D8 flow direction, flow accumulation, Strahler stream ordering).
  • Delineated catchment watersheds from snapped pour points and converted the stream network and watersheds to vector and KML outputs.
  • Validated the terrain-derived drainage against the real River Dovey in Google Earth and produced a finished cartographic map.

Hospital Site Suitability Analysis, Ceredigion

ArcGIS Pro · Multi-criteria Spatial Analysis

GIS module project using weighted overlay and multi-criteria evaluation to identify optimal hospital locations across Ceredigion, incorporating accessibility networks, population distribution, and land-use constraints.

Amazon AWS Project

Amazon Web Services · Figma · Team Leadership

  • Led a team as project manager to develop a technological solution to a societal issue.
  • Collaborated to design a user interface in Figma and conducted data-driven research to solve a complex problem.
  • Presented to a panel of 150 judges and won Best Presentation (Year 1) and Best Overall Project (Year 2) in consecutive years.
  • Individually selected from the programme to be mentored by a Business Manager at Amazon Web Services.
