Madelene Sandmer
Contributed to the BHoM/LadybugTools_Toolkit by developing and refining features focused on pedestrian thermal comfort and wind analysis. Delivered end-to-end walkability heatmap visualizations based on UTCI, integrating CSV-driven data pipelines and custom colormaps using Python, Pandas, and Matplotlib to support reproducible, interpretable results. Enhanced backend reliability by fixing file path issues and standardizing wind simulation parameters, reducing runtime errors and improving analysis consistency. Implemented robust plot title generation for wind resources, increasing clarity for stakeholders. The work established a scalable foundation for data-driven walkability analytics, enabling more informed urban design decisions through clear, actionable visualizations and maintainable code.
