Developing scientific software for air quality and fire science applications. Serving government and private industry. Selected projects:• Hackathon: In 2.5 days my team of 3 successfully implemented a version of Smartfire to run on Amazon Elastic Map Reduce framework. Also demonstrated D3.js fire visualizations and fire alerts using Twilio API. Won award for best overall.• Data Quality Control Module: Implemented a real-time statistical algorithm to detect malfunctioning meteorological instruments by comparing output data of other nearby instruments. Implemented an interval tree for time interval lookups. Built using Java and Apache Commons libraries.• SmartFire EI: Technical Lead for web application for storage and display of annual fire emission geospatial data. Built using Python, Django, GeoDjango, PostGIS, and blueprintCSS.• BlueSky Playground: Technical Lead for web application and backend modeling system to provide decision support for dispersion of forest fire smoke. Designed the system architecture, lead a team of 4 engineers, and implemented core functionality. Built using Java, Stapler, Jelly, WMS, PHP, MongoDB, jQuery, XML-RPC, JSON, OpenLayers.• SmartFire 2: Built a backend processing system to correlate fire data to build a complete annual emission inventory for the US. Also, built the integrated web application viewer and management system. Helped architect a multithreaded application that can schedule data fetches, export and import to/from spatial formats including Shapefile and KML. Built a web interface for fetching and correlating data from satellite detects, ground reports, and other data sources. Implemented using Java, Hibernate, Stapler, Jelly, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, BlueprintCSS. Open sourced.• Trajectory Analysis for Arctic Black Carbon: Built an application for processing fire emissions trajectories for black carbon transport to the arctic circle. Built with Python, NumPy, and GDAL.
