About Me

Hello! My name is Michael Wong and my background is in environmental science but I have recently chosen to pursue a career in GIS. I am currently enrolled in BCIT's advanced diploma program for GIS and am set to complete it in June 2023.

I recently participated in the Esri Canada GIS Centres of Excellence (ECCE) App Challenge. It is a competition between teams from schools across Canada. Teams are given just one week to create new and unique apps using Esri technology and open data to address a problem related to a specific theme. More information about the competition can be found on the App Challenge Page

The topic for 2023 was to create an app focused on a topic or issue related to Conservation and Protected Areas or Urban Ecology. My team (Team GeoJAM) created an app called the Conservation Suitability Explorer and was the winner of the competition! You can find out more by visiting the links below:
