PROFILE
Madelene Sandmer
Madelene Sandmer developed and enhanced walkability and wind analysis features in the BHoM/LadybugTools_Toolkit repository over a three-month period. She implemented UTCI-based walkability heatmap visualizations and time calculations, enabling data-driven assessment of pedestrian thermal comfort. Her approach combined Python, Pandas, and Matplotlib to process CSV-based UTCI data, generate custom colormaps, and visualize walkable periods. Madelene also improved backend reliability by fixing file path issues and standardizing wind simulation parameters, reducing runtime errors and increasing consistency. Her work demonstrated depth in backend development and data visualization, laying a scalable foundation for future urban comfort analytics and reproducible, stakeholder-friendly outputs.
