At U.S. News, I'm involved in full-stack development with the Hospital Data Insights application. My work is centered on the backend (Python/Pyramid), where I develop new features, create API endpoints, write and run ETL scripts in python, and perform bug fixes.
Developed an interactive webmap using the MapboxJS library to display US ferry terminals and routes and allow users to perform custom queries. Check it out here: https://maps.dot.gov/bts/ncfo/
•
Wrote algorithms with Python statistical and machine learning packages to determine the average geographical route a ferry travels between its origin and destination.
•
Applied average route algorithm to dataset of 10 million+ GPS points to calculate 450+ average ferry routes.
•
Created PostgreSQL database containing ferry route and terminal datasets across multiple census years, writing Python and SQL ETL scripts to manage the data.
•
Automate the production of data visualizations published in the biannual report on ferry operations using Python’s matplotlib library
•
Improved the speed of the PC Miler command line tool by 50% after implementing process execution in a multithreaded Python script.
