Collaborated with the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV-Brazil), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and Waze to develop a city-to-street-level congestion indicator. Designed and implemented a real-time traffic monitoring dashboard for São Paulo (Brazil), Montevideo (Uruguay), Quito (Ecuador), Xalapa (Mexico), and Miraflores (Peru). This initiative was part of the "Big Data for Sustainable Urban Development" project, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Ciro Biderman, to enhance urban mobility and decision-making through advanced data analytics.
Transit Equity Dashboard
TransitCenter/ USA (2021)
Contributed to a $100K USD project led by Prof. Alex Karner, focusing on comprehensive transit access and equity analysis across seven U.S. major urban areas. Led the technical development and created a Python-based Fare Calculator system, a key component of the transit access score calculation, to support equity-focused transit planning.
