PROFILE

Joe Filippazzo

Worked on the spacetelescope/jwst repository, focusing on both scientific computing and documentation for astronomy software. Addressed a flux calibration issue in the SUBSTRIP96 subarray by initializing box weights in Python, which stabilized flux measurements for a specific observation mode and improved data analysis reliability. Later, enhanced the extract1d documentation by detailing the ATOCA algorithm’s approach to spectral order overlap in NIRISS SOSS data, clarifying extraction methodology and supporting user onboarding. Documentation updates were written in reStructuredText and tied to concrete issue tracking, strengthening reproducibility and collaboration within the JWST workflow. Work demonstrated depth in both code and documentation.
