Worked on the NREL/OpenStudio-HPXML repository to enhance energy modeling workflows by delivering five features and addressing data reliability over four months. Focused on backend development using Ruby and XML, the work included updating energy cost data, refining utility billing calculations, and improving metadata integrity for HPXML to OpenStudio translations. Applied robust version control practices and test-driven development to ensure traceability and reproducibility across releases. Enhanced documentation and technical writing clarified default behaviors and reduced support needs. The approach emphasized data freshness, workflow automation, and consistent data modeling, supporting accurate, maintainable, and up-to-date energy analysis for utility billing and reporting.
