Developed a data-layer enhancement for the DESI Transients Survey within the gnarayan/decat_pointings repository by introducing structured JSON data files that describe astronomical objects and their observation parameters. This work established a reusable, JSON-driven data model to streamline survey planning, configuration, and automated data ingestion. Leveraging skills in astronomy data processing and data management, the implementation focused on improving data availability and supporting reproducible workflows for future survey configurations. The approach emphasized clear commit traceability, facilitating future audits and collaborative development. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with efforts concentrated on foundational feature delivery and robust data modeling.
