Alex Cherman developed core training and data engineering workflows for the dsi-clinic/CMAP repository, focusing on modular, reproducible pipelines for deep learning experiments. Over four months, Alex refactored dataset construction and argument parsing, introduced class-balanced sampling, and enhanced per-class metric logging to improve model fairness and observability. He implemented a Slurm/Submitit-based launcher with advanced logging and IoU result parsing, and upgraded CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and pre-commit tooling. Working primarily in Python and YAML, Alex emphasized code modularity, maintainability, and robust configuration management, delivering features that accelerated experimentation and improved the reliability of machine learning model training.

In April 2025, the CMAP workflow delivered a robust core training-run submission pipeline, along with essential documentation and CI/CD improvements. The key outcomes include a Slurm/Submitit-based launcher with enhanced logging, IoU result parsing, and configurable log/output handling; documentation updates clarifying launcher usage and Slurm-based training steps; and upgraded CI/CD workflows and pre-commit tooling for reliability and faster feedback. No major bugs were reported fixed this month; minor formatting and README polish were performed to improve maintainability. Technologies demonstrated include Python scripting, Slurm/Submitit integration, advanced logging and IO parsing, documentation, and modern CI/CD practices. Business value: accelerated experiment throughput, improved reproducibility, and higher developer efficiency.
