Inwoo contributed to the ISSMteam/ISSM repository by developing robust cross-language workflows and advanced data visualization tools for climate and geospatial modeling. Over seven months, Inwoo engineered features such as NetCDF-based model loading for Python and MATLAB, 3D geospatial plotting with Landsat imagery, and Pythonic refactoring of mechanical property calculations. Using Python, C++, and Matplotlib, Inwoo improved plotting reliability, streamlined data processing, and synchronized core algorithms between MATLAB and Python. The work addressed runtime stability, enhanced model reproducibility, and reduced tooling debt, demonstrating a strong grasp of scientific computing, backend development, and visualization pipelines in a collaborative research environment.

Sept 2025 ISSM monthly summary focusing on reliability improvements in plotting and input handling. The work concentrated on stabilizing plotting workflows by initializing default caxis limits when undefined and making BC data type handling robust through case-insensitive matching. These changes reduce runtime errors and improve user experience in data visualization, contributing to more reliable analysis and reporting pipelines across ISSM.
