Corinne Jachelski

part-time Software engineer

As a software engineer, Corinne enjoys illuminating stories with data and turning ideas into tangible products that people can interact with. She last worked at a climate startup that measures and maps greenhouse gases and air pollution with its own fleet of vehicles outfitted with sophisticated sensors. As a software engineer, she built data pipelines to process millions of data points daily and worked with internal teams to create tools to optimize management of the fleets and sensors.

She worked as an urban planner for 5 years before switching into software engineering by attending Hackbright Academy's Software Engineering Program. Earlier, Corinne worked as a Planner at Alta Planning & Design and Sasaki, sustainable urban planning and design firms, on a variety of projects including university master plans, citywide rezoning projects, bus rapid transit, land use analysis, bike/pedestrian master plans, and statewide transportation plans. As part of the Sasaki Strategies team, she focused on innovative data visualization and software applications in planning and design. Corinne was part of a team that earned an Honorable Mention in the Fast Company Innovation by Design Awards for Graphic Design and Data Visualization, and on another team that won the Most Artistic Data Visualization Award in Hubway’s 2017 Data Challenge, sponsored by Microsoft.

Earlier, as a Public Lands Transportation Fellow, Corinne served as project manager for a $3.9 million federal contract to help public lands reduce traffic, congestion, and pollution while improving visitor experiences at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

Corinne earned a B.A. in Geography, and a Masters in Environmental Science and Policy from Clark University.
