Objective
I wanted to help people get to places on time by using the NYC taxi data to build an interactive dashboard app. My main contribution was wrangling through the data and building out the airplane tab on the app.
Results
This is probably the biggest data set (50+ GB) I’ve ever worked with and I don’t really get how other people used it on their laptops. Luckily, the city of New York decided to partner with Socrata, which allowed me to use SQL queries to pull the data from the web. This is my first project using R, leaflet, ggmap, and host of other packages. I definitely still prefer python, but I did enjoy how much simpler R was.
