Using GDAL, NetCDF4 to GeoTIFF wrongly rotates the output GeoTIFF file 90 degrees

Here is the class I wrote that is able to extract the data from the NetCDF4 file and save it as a new GeoTiff file. I compared my result with @snowman2 ' s and they were the same:

from osgeo import gdal, osr, gdal_array
import xarray as xr
import numpy as np
