🔭 I'm a research astrophysicist by trade for twenty years.
Currently I work at the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory as a Research Data Developer.
These days, I build Python software for:
- Data analysis and visualization
- Supporting open-access initiatives such as data and article publishing
I enjoy coming up with new coding projects in my free time. Most recently I made or am working on:
- A streamlit app to interact with U.Arizona public salary data: https://sapp4ua.herokuapp.com
- A GitHub Docker container action to gather GitHub traffic statistics and publish them static pages on GitHub Pages or on a web server: https://astrochun.github.io/github-stats
- A webscraping tool to extract voting records from VoxCharta.
- A Python tool to properly handle BibTeX records for my Hugo Academic site
Previously I was the lead developer for the following software while working at U.Arizona on the ReDATA project:
- redata-docs - Sphinx documentation on the ReDATA software and systems.
- LD-Cool-P - Pure Python tool for data curation of figshare for Institutions submissions.
- ldcoolp-figshare - A generalized pure Python tool for data curators/administrators to interact with their figshare for Institutions instance through the figshare API.
- ReQUIAM - Pure Python tool for Grouper identity and access management.
- figstats - Pure Python tool to retrieve statistics of published datasets from the figshare stats API.
- redata-commons - Pure python libraries for all ReDATA software.
- ReM - A FastAPI web app for the construction of README.txt for ReDATA submissions.
As a research scientist, I built a number of software for astronomical data reduction. This includes:
- MMTtools - Pure Python tool to automate MMT/MMIRS data reduction. You can read more here.
- GNIRSLongSlit - Python tool to reduce Gemini/GNIRS data. You can read more here.
