Worked on the Pirouette-Compiler repository, delivering foundational asynchronous IO and HTTP support using OCaml and Eio, which enabled scalable web operations and improved test reliability. Enhanced repository hygiene by standardizing documentation with Markdown and TeX, updating licensing for open source compliance, and integrating automated documentation tooling to streamline onboarding and future releases. Refactored the Choreo component to improve code readability and maintainability, applying functional programming and type-system discipline to reduce future defect risk. Focused on maintainable build systems, dependency management, and consistent code formatting, resulting in a more robust, developer-friendly codebase that supports faster iteration and lower maintenance costs.
