During May 2026, contributed to the spacetelescope/romancal repository by implementing Bad Reference Pixel Masking within the RefPix module, focusing on enhancing data integrity in the calibration pipeline. This feature, developed in Python and centered on data processing, masks problematic reference pixels to reduce the risk of spurious signals during downstream calibrations. The work involved collaborating with other contributors and ensuring the patch set was CI-ready, integrating pre-commit checks for code quality. By aligning with ROMANCAL’s calibration standards, the update improved the reliability of reference pixel processing and prepared the codebase for future releases without addressing major bug fixes.
