GIS Development & Urban Mobility
I apply geospatial analysis and software engineering to urban transit systems in Mexico City. My work spans open-source REST APIs serving GeoJSON data, graph-based analytical models, and academic research within the UNAM Urban Planning Master's program.
GIS & Urban Data Work
Open-source tools and research applied to Mexico City's multimodal transit network.
Apimetro
RESTful API that ingests, models, and serves geospatial data for Mexico City's entire
public transit network — Metro, Metrobús, Cablebús, RTP, Trolebús, Tren Ligero,
Mexibús, Mexicable, and Interurbano. Returns native GeoJSON compatible with Leaflet,
Mapbox, and MapLibre. Built in Go with PostGIS spatial queries, Swagger documentation,
and a Freemium license model. Production server live at apimetro.dev.
VFT Model — Urban Transit Analytical Engine
Geospatial and topological analytical engine for evaluating ring-shaped and feeder transit corridors in Mexico City's metropolitan area. Named after the Vanishing Fig-Tree conceptual framework, it processes GTFS-sourced graphs to compute betweenness centrality, Direct-Route Index (DI), and capillary node strength — the core metrics of the TAICMAM thesis. Built on a pragmatic hexagonal architecture: FastAPI, GeoPandas, NetworkX, and Momepy, consuming Apimetro as its data backend.
Research reports and validated notebooks are published as a Jupyter Book.
Habitability Analysis — Acapulco de Juárez
Academic research project on the habitability of the South-East region of Acapulco,
developed for the Urban Planning Seminar and the Neighborhood & City Workshop
at UNAM FES Acatlán. Covers regional analysis (gravitational model, 50–300 km),
local urban analysis, and housing design proposals.
Group project — Bolaño Espejo M.A., Cabrera Garibaldi H.G., Castro Huerta R., Nativitas Vázquez G.
UNAM Master's — Urban Planning
Formal academic work at the Posgrado en Urbanismo, UNAM (2025–2027), combining quantitative GIS methods with urban planning theory.
Ring-Shaped Transit Corridors and Their Role in Mexico City's Metropolitan Area
Tutor: Dr. David López Flores — Posgrado en Urbanismo, UNAM · Tesis TAICMAM
Analyzes the viability of introducing a circular public transit corridor in the ZMVM, using the southern Peripheral Ring as a validation case. The hypothesis: ring geometry in the Third Contour reduces the Direct-Route Index (DI), average travel time (T), and betweenness centrality (B(v)), demonstrable through computational graph modeling of the full multimodal GTFS network.
Course assignments and LaTeX templates for the Master's program are available in the Trabajos-Maestria-Urbanismo repository — includes institutional UNAM/FES Acatlán Beamer and document templates.
