Worked on the uhh-cms/cmsdb repository to enhance data handling and processing accuracy for high-energy physics datasets, focusing on Higgs, Drell-Yan, and Electroweak analyses. Used Python and scientific computing techniques to adjust file counts, merging factors, and implement mechanisms for skipping broken files, thereby improving data integrity and processing throughput. Refactored data pipelines and updated cross-section values to ensure accurate physics calculations and reduce maintenance overhead. Addressed a critical bug by restoring missing cross-section data, which safeguarded against biased analyses. Demonstrated strengths in Python scripting, data analysis, and dataset management, delivering robust solutions for complex scientific data workflows.
February 2026: No new features delivered for uhh-cms/cmsdb. Primary accomplishment: fixed missing cross-section values for DY datasets in ewk.py to restore accurate dataset processing. Commit: 808922d99abddacee8bc2ca6c98ffaf06ae1c5d4 (message: 'adding missing xsec for DY datasets'). This change enhances data integrity, ensuring correct cross-section weighting for DY datasets and reducing risk of biased downstream analyses. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Python data handling for cross-section data, targeted debugging, and git-based change management.
