During their work on the masa-umich/mcnugget repository, Ian Austin developed an end-to-end RPM data processing and visualization pipeline, handling CSV ingestion, voltage and time parsing, and computation of revolutions per second. Using Python, Pandas, and Matplotlib, Ian enabled time-series analysis and generated plots for voltage and RPM trends, supporting rapid data quality checks and monitoring. In a subsequent feature, Ian expanded the McNugget Putty training dataset by adding extensive numerical data, facilitating larger-scale experiments and improved model training. All contributions were version-controlled with traceable commits, demonstrating careful data engineering, reproducibility, and a focus on scalable, maintainable workflows.
