At the Meteorological Development Lab, I:- Created a new extra-tropical storm surge (ETSS) model output website. The website has a PHP back end which processes and delivers model data to a CSS/HTML5/jQuery front-end utilizing D3 for data visualization.- Moved ETSS model data post-processing from an unreliable local machine to NOAA's operational supercomputer and completely re-worked the code to meet operational standards. For reduced processing time, the code is written in FORTRAN and driven by C and Bash scripts. Presented the results at the American Meteorological Society conference in 2015.- Re-created the probabilistic surge website (PSurge) to animate and update model output maps based on user input using Backbone.js and Underscore.js- Began development a front-facing website for our group to explain surge and our products to our users.Most of the websites use Bootstrap and all were created in a Unix/Linux environment and backed up by SVN.Some side-projects which were never implemented but educational nonetheless:- Wrapped Python around our tide prediction library (which is written in C) to create a tide prediction module- Wrapped Python around our FORTRAN data post-processing code to complete tasks like string manipulation and file I/O and left the number crunching to FORTRAN
