At Pinellas County Property Appraiser’s Office, I analyze property, sales, and assessment data spanning more than 450,000 parcels. I build forecasting models and Power BI decision-support tools for property valuation, tax policy analysis, and executive decision-making.

On Resonance, I partnered with a senior programmer to modernize a legacy mass-appraisal engine as a .NET application. I verified and improved the initial AI-generated port, matching production parcel values across 24 model clusters, and added automated tests and architecture documentation.

I also designed a parcel-level platform to model the fiscal impact of proposed Florida property tax legislation. As project manager for an enterprise valuation modernization initiative, I coordinate county staff and a software vendor and lead validation of deliverables before production deployment.
