San Francisco, Ca, Us

Role specifically to complete the transfer of ClientComm (the output from the 2016 Code for America Salt Lake County Fellowship) from a client-specific deployment to a fully generalizable, multi-tenant application to be carried on as a core software-as-a-service offering from Code for America to be implemented through 2017 and on with other partner cities and counties.

As a Fellow at Code for America (CfA), I perform a blend of software/data engineering and government-focused organizational strategy, consultation. Primarily, these efforts have been focused on tackling recidivism in Salt Lake County through processes improvements centered on engineering service delivery optimizations.Fellow Profile: codeforamerica.org/people/kuan-buttsFellowship Blog: c4a-slc.tumblr.comFellowship Github: github.com/slco-2016

Wrote software to support urban transit research; focusing on interfacing with and cataloguing real time vehicle location data from the MTA's OneBusAway (OBA) implementation.

Cambridge, Ma, Us

Oversee (and assist in) the continued development of the Flocktracker suite of software products as an internal project within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology's Future Mobilities (SMART-FM) initiative and the implementation of such mobile technologies (including Flocktracker) in real-world use cases, primarily through Mexico but also in locations from Singapore to Bangladesh.Additionally: Developed front-end software for CoAXs, a bus system scenario modeling tool for the Boston metropolitan area at the Changing Places department within the MIT Media Lab.

I functioned as a researcher under Prof. P. Christopher Zegras, studying mobile technologies and their application in rapidly developing urban environment. In Dhaka, our research has partnered with Kewkradong and Urban Launchpad, performing bus mapping and information dispersion strategies. Research has also been performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City, Mexico; Singapore; and St. Louis, Missouri. I act as a research liaison between Urban Launchpad and the mobile technologies research and have also represented the research team to operations sponsors at the National University of Singapore for the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART).

Software development, project management, in-field deployment.

Researching private market intermodal transit stations, owned and developed by Grupoi Prodi and operated by UTL (Urban Travel Logistics). Lead the development of a research proposal jointly initated by Prof. Christopher Zegras of MIT and Florencia Serrania of UTL, managing a team of 2 UNAM students, 1 CS staff member, and 3 additional MIT MCP students. The research focused on the measuring comparative safety levels and their environmental externalities along routes operating from two reformed CETRAM stations in Mexico City, Mexico. Research focused on formalized Peseros and VW routes operating from these stations into the State of Mexico and sought to determine effects of comparative formal transit monitoring between these two stations and within their greater environments.Project was performed in conjunction with development and implementation of the Flocktracker project (Android-based software application).
