Evan Dong's practicum was a remote summer internship at the U.S. Census Bureau through the Civic Digital Fellowship, a civic tech program run by Coding it Forward. Specializing on data science and software support in the Geography Division, Evan's work focused on the Frames Program - a long-term project to consolidate connections between different databases and information sets within the Bureau. By developing tools to process address data, this work improves the quality of Census data products and ensures all communities are correctly counted. Additionally, they developed a prototype database of demographic data, building flexibility and infrastructural support for an expansive and thorough representation of identity in the United States.
