Contributed to the astropy/astropy repository by developing a flexible celestial coordinate unit conversion system, replacing hard-coded units with lambda-based conversions to enhance maintainability and extensibility in astronomical data analysis. Applied Python programming and functional techniques to refactor core coordinate handling, laying groundwork for easier integration of new unit schemes. Addressed a bug in the FITS WCS world_to_pixel conversion by ensuring correct unit handling, which improved the reliability of coordinate transformations for users. Maintained clear documentation using reStructuredText and collaborated on changelog updates, demonstrating a focus on code quality, scientific accuracy, and adherence to Python scientific stack conventions.
