The bulk of the work I do at STScI involves testing and development of the JWST Science Calibration Pipeline. I help track, triage, and monitor NIRCam flight data and operational pipeline issues, and perform regular science calibration pipeline testing and validation.

I help analyze data and write software to generate and improve the reference files used to make the corrections in the calibration pipeline.
