Experience
Research Assistant
Atmospheric remote-sensing research on UMBC’s Taki supercomputer. NSF CyberTraining research in fall 2019 and coursework in spring 2020 were part of this longer appointment, with stipend support.
Projects
Earth-Science Data Tooling — Packaged Scientific Python
I developed scientific-data tools through NASA internships and UMBC research, including conversion to netCDF4 and parsing into pandas DataFrames. cosmic-crunch and noaa-gml-file-reader are published on PyPI; I also contributed to collaborative cloud-anomaly analysis.
ncarnate — Legacy Scientific Data to Modern netCDF4
I rebuilt ncarnate to convert supported HDF4 and netCDF data into netCDF4, verify stored values against the source, and reconstruct coordinates for supported satellite grids and swaths. The Python CLI and library are published on PyPI and conda-forge.
