Create a database management system to hold records for vacant properties to be repurposed for residential use.

Techniques use:

- Python: to automate and document the workflows

- SQLite: to hold the data

- Streamlit: to present the information

- GitHub: to manage the architecture (private and public)

For this project, I created a detailed cartographic map for Bioregional Weaving. The design highlights Ireland’s watersheds, rivers, and waterbodies on a relief base, produced both as a presentation slide and in high resolution for posters and promotional materials.

A key focus was balancing detail with readability; the map features were carefully styled to fade into the background at broader scales, ensuring the map remains clear and uncluttered without losing precision.

The result is a beautifully refined basemap that can be used across events, presentations, and communications, offering both accuracy and strong visual impact.

It was a pleasure continuing the collaboration on this exciting project, developing a geospatial multi-criteria analysis to support Urban Agriculture for a US city. The Agritecture team demonstrated excellent professionalism, offering clear direction and constructive feedback throughout. Despite the tight deadline, their organised approach allowed us to deliver a robust and scalable solution that could certainly be adapted for other urban agriculture zoning projects. Completed the Spatial Decision Support Layers for the city, and the semi-automated selection process was well-received by the city officials. Exciting developments for Urban Agriculture.
