Gabriele Coppi contributed targeted engineering work to the simonsobs/sotodlib repository, focusing on drone simulation and observational data processing. He refactored the movement range and velocity logic in Python, using libraries such as NumPy and SciPy, to resolve inaccuracies in drone scan simulations, which improved planning and data quality for field campaigns. Later, he developed a feature enabling explicit configuration of drone scan starting points along azimuth and elevation, replacing implicit defaults with configurable traits. This change enhanced reproducibility and operability for automated scans. Coppi’s work demonstrated depth in simulation modeling, configuration-driven development, and maintainable API design within astronomy software.

In April 2025, delivered a targeted feature in simonsobs/sotodlib that adds explicit configuration for drone scan starting points along azimuth and elevation, replacing previous implicit defaults. The change introduces source_azimuth_start and source_elevation_start traits, enabling precise control of initial scan position across azimuth/elevation scan types. This improves reproducibility, data quality, and operability for automated scans, lab/testing, and field deployments. Technologies demonstrated include Rust traits, API design, and configuration-driven development, highlighting strong maintainability and traceability.
