Maureen contributed to the Open-Earth-Foundation/CityCatalyst repository by engineering robust data models and backend systems to support advanced emissions reporting, sanitation analytics, and regulatory compliance. She integrated new data sources, standardized data pipelines, and expanded schema support for complex calculations, leveraging Python, SQLAlchemy, and Pandas. Her work included developing API endpoints for IPCC formula inputs, implementing database migrations with Alembic, and enhancing internationalization. By focusing on data integrity, migration reliability, and scalable ETL processes, Maureen enabled more granular analytics and improved data governance. Her contributions addressed both feature development and bug fixes, demonstrating depth in backend and data engineering.

August 2025: CityCatalyst delivered Scope 2 Emissions Data Ingestion, adding electricity emissions factors data with raw and processed CSVs by country/zone, plus new data source and methodology files linked to processed emissions data. This work improves Scope 2 coverage, data provenance, and readiness for sustainability reporting.

May 2025 — CityCatalyst: Delivered core rule engine enhancements and data model upgrades that drive accuracy, transparency, and analytics. Key outcomes include the introduction of an exclusive 'all' rule type, enabling unambiguous rule precedence; addition of the 'composition' field to Waste for granular reporting; and a small but important readability improvement by renaming 'type-all' to 'vehicle-type-all'. These changes improve decision integrity, enable richer operational metrics, and enhance code maintainability.
