I do research software development and statistics for astronomical applications. I especially like to work in astronomical image processing where squeezing out the most signal/precision/accuracy is critical to get science done! Lately I have been involved in projects where we use GPU acceleration and automatic differentiation to make powerful Bayesian analysis techniques possible. Check out the pinned repos below.
I have written, or contributed to, a number of python packages for analyzing astronomical data (and other things) which I am proud of, take a look at them here:

Perfect is a direction, but a direction pointing where? Well in probability a score is the gradient of the log probability, a direction of increasing probability density. If you want to properly explore a PDF you can't just go in the direction of the score, you need a little chaos such as introduced in Markov-Chain Monte Carlo. So perfect may be a score, but life is Metropolis Adjusted Langevin Algorithm.
