Welcome to my Portfolio!

Hello! I'm Simran, a recent graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Geography–Data Science and a minor in South Asian Studies. I specialized in multiple programs within GIS and data science like R, QGIS, ArcGIS Online, and Web GIS.

Featured Projects

  Historical mapping and personal reflection on migration and borders.
• History of the Bhatti Name

  Genealogical mapping across regions and generations.

Web GIS – Carbon Emissions in Europe

• Collaborated with peers to design an interactive web map visualizing per capita and total CO₂ emissions across European countries from 1950 to 2023
• Built with HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Python
• Features interactive time slider, emissions gradients, and popups
• Designed for public and policymaker engagement

ArcGIS Pro – Drinking Water Systems & Buffer Zones

• Created in ArcGIS Pro using public data from the Washington Department of Health
• Mapped drinking water systems across Snohomish County and applied a 500-meter buffer analysis.
• Styled water systems by operational status (active, inactive) using unique symbology.
• Designed a professional layout with legend, scale bar, north arrow, and descriptive text.

Python – Ferry Ridership Flow Visualization

• Sankey diagram of Puget Sound ferry routes
• Processed WSDOT data to visualize passenger flows

The Sankey diagram presents ferry routes as flows, with origin points on the left and destination points on the right. The width of each flow corresponds to the total number of passengers, allowing for an immediate visual comparison between routes.

We used three variables:

• Source: Ferry terminal of departure
• Target: Destination terminal
• Value: Number of riders

Data collected from: Washington State Ferries Traffic Statistics Rider Segment Report

R Shiny – Oregon Wildfires Visualizer

• Interactive wildfire map using R Shiny

QGIS

• Compared historical vs. projected (1975-2005) temperatures data across the U.S. through QGis
• - Applied symbology, customized interpolation, added state boundaries/labels, and designed an inset map to highlight Washington’s climate impacts
• Designed inset maps to highlight regional climate impacts.
