Pablo Mellado

Engaged in the comprehensive software and systems support for scientific observations at the 30m radio telescope located at Pico Veleta. I spearheaded the development of big Python projects, along with backend development in Django, Flask and FastAPI. My responsibilities spanned software development for the telescope's intricate operations, as well as the creation of web apps and databases. Notably, I managed the header information SQL databases for all astronomical observations conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope, ensuring seamless data management and accessibility (tapas.iram.es), as well as monitoring critical systems using Zabbix and Grafana. Developed containerized user-friendly tools aimed at facilitating astronomers' observations, enhancing efficiency, and streamlining data collection processes.

Dedicated to meticulous software development and documentation practices akin to space projects, I played a pivotal role in the development of the IMaX instrument control software. Tasked with overseeing the entire software life cycle, I spearheaded the creation of this critical OOP C++ software component. Operating within the challenging environment of an embedded hardware system interfacing FPGAs and DSPs to process the images, aboard a balloon-borne solar telescope, I navigated complexities to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
