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.
