Flavia Trotolo

Optimized web-scraping efficiency by 40% by implementing parallelization on high-performance computing clusters to retrieve over 68,000 Albedo images from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS). Pioneered the development of two algorithms for generating comprehensive 60x30-degree Albedo Maps of Mars’ surface territory. This involved a custom-built scaling algorithm, images’ shifting, and pixel averaging. Authored configuration files for the NASA Planetary Spectrum Generator, enabling the simulation of emission and radiance plots for Mars’ atmosphere at varying methane concentrations.

Architected a Back-End solution using Flask and SQLAlchemy encompassing web-scraping, user recommendations, and survey algorithms. Developed secure Stripe API check-out with password hashing, reCAPTCHA, and OTP. Extracted financial data for dynamic interactive graphs using Chart.js, Matplotlib, and Pandas. Created dynamic user interface using Bootstrap, branding the product as a solo Front-End developer.

Developed a responsive website in React and CSS3, mirroring assigned Figma design. Crafted reusable components with props, leading to a reduction in development time. Implemented React States to manage user input and output, resulting in a 30% increase in user engagement.
