Akash Kasturi contributed to the IMSA-CMS/CMSAnalysis repository by developing and refining features for Higgs analysis workflows over a three-month period. He enhanced data visualization by implementing color definitions for Higgs plots and introduced the RootScaleFactor class to manage scale factors from ROOT histograms, improving systematic uncertainty handling. Akash modernized the scale factor subsystem through object-oriented refactoring, establishing a scalable base architecture for future extensibility. He also refactored plotting and fitting workflows, updating C++ and ROOT-based analysis scripts to improve accuracy and maintainability. His work focused on code clarity, reproducibility, and onboarding, addressing technical debt and streamlining analysis processes.

February 2025 (IMSA-CMS/CMSAnalysis): Delivered a key feature to enhance Higgs analysis visualization and scale-factor handling. Implemented color definitions for Higgs plots to improve readability and interpretation. Introduced RootScaleFactor class to robustly manage scale factors from ROOT histograms, and integrated this into common Higgs workflows to improve representation and systematic uncertainty handling. No major bugs reported this month; focus was on feature development and code quality improvements. This work enhances analysis clarity, speeds reviews, and strengthens uncertainty quantification.
