Hi — I'm Joe, a software engineer in Philadelphia teaching myself radio astronomy. I'm building open-source Python tools as I learn: a course, a framework for reproducible research on public archives, and control software for a Discovery Dish station I'm still assembling. No first light yet. Mostly here to learn from people who actually do this. Expect hydrogen line observing, public archives, and honest null results. #introduction #RadioAstronomy #Astronomy #Astrodon #Python #OpenSource
