{\sl  SHARPpy} - \href{https://github.com/sharppy/SHARPpy}{Sounding and Hodograph Analysis and Research Package in Python}  \hfill April 2014 -- Current \\
Written in: Python
\begin{itemize} \itemsep -2pt % Reduce space between items
\item One of the primary developers of the SHARPpy software package.  This package provides an open source code base of sounding and hodograph analysis routines to the meteorological community and is used internationally.  Development involves collaborations with NWS/SPC employees. Additional co-developers include Kelton Halbert (OU) and Tim Supinie (OU/CAPS).
\end{itemize} 

{\sl MWRoe} - \href{https://github.com/wblumberg/MWRoe}{Microwave Radiometer Optimal Estimation} \hfill Feb 2014 - Current \\
Written in: Python
\begin{itemize} \itemsep -2pt % Reduce space between items
\item Inherited and adapted code from Stephen Castleberry to perform the optimal estimation retrieval method on microwave radiometer data.  Modifications improved optimizing the code to improve the speed and functionality of the code and adapting it to use HATPRO microwave radiometer data.  Code used to retrieve thermodynamic profiles from PECAN microwave radiometers.
\end{itemize} 

{\sl AERIstat} - AERI statistical retrieval \hfill Jan 2012 - August 2013 \\
Written in: Python
\begin{itemize} \itemsep -2pt % Reduce space between items
\item Developed code to create a statistical thermodynamic retrieval for the AERI instrument that could obtain thermodynamic profiles much faster than the current physical retrieval methods.  Developed as part of my master's thesis.
