Current Projects

Hi, I’m Fernando Pensamiento. I’m a GIS graduate student focused on building reliable GIS datasets and clear map products that support real-world decision-making. I have developed a strong foundation in spatial analysis, remote sensing, cartography, and geospatial data visualization, data collection, data cleaning/QA/QC and publishing interactive web maps and dashboards.

My GIS projects have included mapping Los Angeles County, to analyze spatial patterns related to urban development and environmental justice. I've worked on re-creating US National Park Maps, toxic waste in Los Angeles County, urban inequalities and reference maps.

Recently, my projects have combined Survey123 field-style data collection with ArcGIS Online/Enterprise hosting, Experience Builder applications, and dashboards for public-facing communication. I’m also expanding my remote sensing skills and using Python to automate geoprocessing and improve repeatability and data accuracy. I am continuously expanding my skills and exploring new ways GIS can contribute to solving real-world challenges.

Tools: ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online/Enterprise, Experience Builder, Vector Tile Style Editor, Survey123, Dashboards, Arcade, QGIS, Power BI, Envy, Python, & R.
