Geospatial Analyst, City Planner

Stephen Skilton is a city planner and geospatial analyst. Stephen is a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where he earned a Masters in City Planning. His focus has been primarily on data analysis and computer programming using tools such as geographic information systems (GIS), R-Studio (statistics), Python Scripting, and web mapping with Javascript. Stephen has a strong interest finding ways to use open data and software to empower communities to advocate for policies, investment, and informed decision making.

This website contains a variety of past projects and is intended to showcase a variety of tools and areas of analysis in an interactive form. Work samples include past academic exercises and research, as well as work experience. The code used to create this website can be found under Stephen's GitHub account, linked below in the Contact section.

When Stephen isn't working, he can often be found biking around the city to a Meetup event, basement show, or some sort of artist activity. He is currently a proud resident in Philadelphia's Fishtown/Kensington neighborhood.
