Worked on the roman-corgi/corgidrp repository to enhance scientific data processing pipelines, focusing on both detector and polarimetry data. Refactored flat field utilities into a dedicated Python module, improving maintainability and enabling clearer ownership of flat-field logic. Introduced explicit NaN handling mechanisms to strengthen data quality and reduce downstream analytics risk. In polarimetry processing, standardized metadata naming and recorded calibration filenames in L4 headers, improving data provenance and reproducibility. Applied software engineering practices such as code refactoring, module organization, and comprehensive testing to ensure robust, maintainable code. Emphasized Python programming, scientific computing, and calibration throughout the development process.
April 2026 performance highlights for roman-corgi/corgidrp: Delivered improved polarimetry data provenance in the L4 header by recording POL0 and POL45 flux calibration filenames, standardized metadata naming for downstream pipelines, and refactored header update logic to reduce duplication and improve maintainability. These changes enhance data traceability and cross-stage interoperability, enabling reliable reprocessing and reproducibility.
