Contributed to the simonsobs/sotodlib repository by developing targeted improvements for drone-based observational simulations. Addressed a critical bug in the drone simulation module by refactoring movement range logic, resulting in more accurate velocity calculations and scan time estimates for both single-axis and grid scans. Later, implemented a feature introducing explicit configuration of drone scan starting points along azimuth and elevation, replacing implicit defaults to enhance reproducibility and data quality. These changes were delivered using Python and leveraged skills in simulation modeling, observational data processing, and configuration-driven development, demonstrating a methodical approach to maintainability and traceability within astronomy software workflows.
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.
