Interim Labs Co-Lead & Software Developer (Volunteer)
- Co-led TransitMatters Labs, the org's volunteer engineering program, as interim co-lead: reviewed and approved contributor PRs, ran intake for new volunteers, and took point on meetings with the other Labs lead and the Executive Director.
- Ran recurring ~3-week all-hands meetings; re-engaged inactive volunteers through direct outreach and recruited Labs-adjacent contributors to present their work, growing meeting participation.
- Delivered full-stack features across the GTFS ingestion → backend processing → dashboard pipeline (gobble, mbta-performance, data-ingestion, t-performance-dash): Silver Line and 50+ bus route support, vehicle occupancy data, and full ferry service support — preparing and cleaning MBTA ferry data for Data Dashboard ingestion.
- Added the Mattapan Trolley to New Train Tracker, including enriched vehicle pop-up information.
- Designed, built, and published transitmattr, an R client package wrapping the TransitMatters Data Dashboard API — test suite, vignettes, a pkgdown documentation site, and CI via GitHub Actions — accepted to CRAN.
- Added test coverage and resolved production reliability issues (OOM memory tuning on scheduled data jobs) across the mbta-performance and t-performance-dash backends; migrated multiple repos' tooling to UV and Ruff with pre-commit hooks.
- Contributed maps to the Modernizing the Framingham/Worcester Line report.
