As part of my summer of 2024 internship I had the privilege of getting involved with some of NSF Unidata’s Python projects. My work ranged from creating educational tutorials to adding new functionalities to existing libraries, enhancing the resources available to the community.

I would like to begin by saying that this internship has definitely been one of the top highlights of my Ph.D. journey. I spent most of my working hours implementing the idea of server-side virtual data processing. This means that data on the THREDDS Data Servers (TDS) could be virtually processed without actually modifying the data. As such, the data integrity would remain intact, but it could be optimized for ML/AI.

This summer, I had a fantastic time as a Unidata intern, strengthening my Python and data visualization skills. Even though my internship was fully remote, I was still able to have a great experience and attend many events at UCAR. My mentor, Thomas Martin, and the rest of the Unidata staff were very helpful and always available for guidance during my time with Unidata.

2023 Unidata summer intern

This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to spend it as a Unidata intern. My main goal for the summer was to solidify my own fundamental Python skills, but I wanted to do it in a way that would also benefit others. My mentor, Drew Camron, and the rest of the Unidata staff dedicated their time to help me achieve this goal during my internship.

During my internship, I worked with the Unidata THREDDS team. My intentions this summer were to learn Java, improve my coding skills, and have experience using it in real world applications. I began my journey by converting existing unit tests for the netCDF-Java library, which is tightly linked to the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) code, to the JUnit Java testing framework. Once I got this practice with Java and had a working development environment, I was able to start working on my summer project.
