Future Land Use · flagship project

An AI pipeline that read the region's zoning codes

For the Future Land Use project, the region needed a consistent, machine-readable picture of zoning across every jurisdiction in central Puget Sound. It is a notoriously messy task, because each city and county writes its zoning code differently, in its own PDFs, tables, and municipal-code formats.

I designed and built an AI-driven pipeline that ingested and parsed those codes and populated a standardized zoning dataset across all 80+ jurisdictions in the region. It turned thousands of pages of inconsistent legal text into structured, comparable zoning attributes, work that would have taken a team months of manual reading. The result gives planners a single regional view of allowed land uses and densities.

AILLM-assisted code parsing
Survey data

Household Travel Survey cleaning

Cleaned and processed regional Household Travel Survey (HTS) data, wrangling messy, multi-source travel-diary records into analysis-ready datasets used downstream by the planning and modeling teams.

Analysis

EV ownership analysis

Analyzed regional electric-vehicle ownership patterns to help the agency understand where and how EV adoption is spreading across the central Puget Sound region.

Travel demand modeling

SoundCast ActivitySim vehicle-ownership model

Worked alongside PSRC's modeling team to implement the SoundCast ActivitySim vehicle-ownership model for the region, bringing the open-source ActivitySim framework into SoundCast so the agency's activity-based travel model can simulate how many vehicles regional households own. This connects directly to my doctoral research on car-ownership decisions.
