Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander S is a planning and development professional with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience applying GIS, Python, and spatial analysis to transit equity, housing legalization, and urban policy. Currently supporting Berkeley’s permitting pipelines and researching international transit access at the University of Toronto, he combines technical chops in data visualization and spatial regression with hands-on permitting, grant review, and stakeholder communication. His background spans federal to local agencies—including the FTA and SacRT—where he built GIS portals, progress trackers, and equity screens for major capital and microtransit programs. Trained in urban studies and Yiddish at the University of Chicago and completing planning and transportation degrees at UC Berkeley, he pairs rigorous research methods with a creative practice in mapping, writing, and improvisational performance. Notably, he has annotated tens of thousands of words for sociolinguistic research and routinely translates complex datasets into accessible presentations for policymakers and communities.
