PROFILE

Johannes Zottele

Contributed to the OpenVADL/openvadl project by developing and enhancing RISC-V instruction set simulation, translation, and testing infrastructure over a three-month period. Focused on expanding RV64I support, improving code generation, and strengthening validation through comprehensive documentation and automated tests. Applied expertise in C++, Java, and Python to refactor core translation logic, modernize handler patterns, and extend test coverage with embench and CSR integration. Addressed build hygiene, code style, and configuration management to streamline maintenance and accelerate delivery. The work emphasized maintainability and reliability, introducing new diagnostic tooling, graph utilities, and robust test pipelines to support ongoing feature development and verification.
