June 2025 performance highlights: core geometry and testing infrastructure modernization enabled faster delivery, improved reliability, and a scalable base for future work. Delivered the Geo Checker Core and Integration as a standalone library with TVirtualGeoChecker and TGeoChecker, enabling direct checker usage in TGeo classes and exposing a plugin entry; reorganized the checker into its own library and cleaned related interfaces. Modernized the roottest and IO testing ecosystem by migrating the roottest suite to a CMake-based workflow, expanding dictionary generation, and standardizing test execution across tree/basket, tree/entrylist, io/alloc and related tests. Migrated a broad set of IO tests to CMake, updated dictionary handling for IO/AbstractClass and IO/BigEvent, and introduced fixtures and improved test harness reliability. Strengthened build/test infrastructure with additional CMake-based roottest tooling, improved code quality (geomApply cleanups), and cross-platform hardening (Windows) including compiler warning fixes and cleanup of obsolete Makefiles. Web/HTTP and web rendering components were upgraded (WebGui, CivetWeb with CORS, WebCanvas defaults), contributing to more robust web-based diagnostics and dashboards. Demonstrated skills in CMake-based builds, modular library design, dictionary generation strategies, fixture-driven testing, and cross-repo coordination to accelerate release cycles and business value.

March 2025 (ferdymercury/root) delivered a major SavePrimitive modernization across core data visualization components, enabling safer, more accurate persistence of graphs, histograms, and 3D shapes, with improved web compatibility. Key API and formatting improvements include thread_local usage in SavePrimitive, newline handling in SavePrimitiveArray, and the new SaveArray argument, plus broader formatting refinements in TGraph-related saves. Color serialization received alpha support and hex8 encoding, with new SavePrimitiveColor and its adoption in attributes, gpad classes, and TGaxis. Serialization consistency was strengthened via the introduction of SavePrimitiveVector (and the removal of SavePrimitiveArray), followed by widespread adoption across TH1/TH1-based classes, graphs, and 3D objects. The SavePrimitiveDraw centralization enables polymorphic drawing saves across TObject and graphics classes. WebCanvas/web GUI and stress graphics testing were enhanced for web reliability and compatibility. These changes bring clear business value through stable persistence, reproducible tests, and improved visualization fidelity.
