I am a PostDoctoral researcher at the astronomy department at Universidad de Chile for six years now right after I got my PhD in astronomy in the same university. For the last ten years I have been working in an international collaboration astronomical project called Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which is one of the major astronomical surveys in history. They map the entire sky looking for stars and galaxies focusing in our galaxy the Milky Way. In there I am part of the software and operations team, writing and reviewing code to ensure that our science goals are met by selecting stars to be observed and transforming those lists into machine readable files to be interpreted at the telescope. My duties include querying and maintaining database to predict the scientific retrieve of our observations, crossmatch astronomical positions of billions of stars from different catalogues, and actively participate in code documentation. Most of the work I have done is based on Python and PostgreSQL, but I have also worked with codes written in IDL, Fortran, and specialized astronomical languages like IRAF.
