Zoë Maymon, GIS & Spatial Analysis

About

I turn messy
spatial data into
things that work.

GIS and data analytics specialist based in Hyattsville, MD, with about nine years of work across environmental consulting, public health, federal building sciences, and satellite imagery. M.S. from Clark University, B.S. from UMBC. Across all of it, the consistent focus has been spatial data that requires significant cleaning and structuring before it can be used.

Most of my projects start with understanding what a stakeholder actually needs and mapping that to a clear set of technical requirements. From there, the work is translating those requirements into a technical workflow and executing on it cleanly. Getting that translation right is where most projects succeed or fall apart.

Active Secret clearance. Experienced with AWS, enterprise GIS stacks, and Linux. Python is my primary scripting language, used extensively for automation, data processing, and eliminating repetitive manual workflows.

BIM Data Analyst

National Institute of Building Sciences, Washington, D.C.

Designed Power BI dashboards and paginated reports so project managers could track BIM compliance without opening a spreadsheet
Built Power Automate workflows to handle report distribution, which dropped manual processing time by about 40%
Kept technical documentation tight enough that anyone on the team could reproduce outputs without asking me
Sat between the geospatial team and everyone else, which mostly meant translating

GIS Consultant

EcoHealth Alliance, Remote

Pulled a decade of fire and aerosol data (2010–2020) across Indonesia using Google Earth Engine and JavaScript. More data than you'd want to handle locally
Turned the analysis into visual reports that could actually land with a policy audience, not just other analysts

Remote Sensing Intern

DigitalGlobe (Maxar), Remote

QA'd satellite imagery mosaics: checking spatial accuracy, integrating ground control points, flagging anything that didn't line up
Worked out of an AWS environment managing large imagery datasets and testing internal processing software

GIS Intern

Maryland Department of the Environment, Baltimore, MD

Wrote Python scripts to automate data queries for Stormwater and Dam Safety, less manual pulling, better database hygiene
Went out on field inspections and used the spatial analysis to back up compliance reports for state environmental regs

Projects built on the job, for employers and clients. No live links — most live behind internal systems or client accounts.

Remote Sensing · Data Visualization

Fire & Aerosol Trends
in Indonesia

Ten years of fire and aerosol data across Indonesia, processed in Google Earth Engine. The challenge wasn't the analysis. It was distilling satellite-derived environmental trends into something a regional policy team could actually use. Built for EcoHealth Alliance.

Dashboard · Workflow Automation

BIM Compliance
Tracking Dashboard

The ask: project managers needed to track BIM compliance across a portfolio of federal building projects without touching raw data. Power BI dashboards with location-based filtering, automated via Power Automate. Cut manual reporting work by 40%. Built at NIBS.

Remote Sensing · QA/QC

Satellite Imagery
Mosaic Validation

QA/QC on satellite imagery mosaics at Maxar: integrating ground control points, checking spatial accuracy, and testing internal processing software before it went anywhere near production. All of it running out of AWS.

Public Health · Spatial Analysis

Opioid Overdose
Mapping, Maryland

Mapped overdose data across Maryland for the state Department of Health's Office of Overdose Prevention. Choropleth maps, point data, shapefiles, built to be loaded into ArcGIS Server so the team could keep using them after I was gone.

Fiber optic broadband cable infrastructure

Spatial Analysis · Research

Broadband Coverage &
Economic Growth

Where does broadband infrastructure actually exist, and does it track with economic outcomes? ArcGIS analysis layered against Census data at the University of Baltimore. The gaps were more visible spatially than any table could show.

Automation · Environmental GIS

Stormwater & Dam Safety
Compliance Reporting

Maryland's Stormwater and Dam Safety programs run on GIS data that someone has to keep clean. I automated the query side with ArcPy, kept the geodatabases in order, went out on field inspections, and turned it all into compliance reports for state regs.
