Andrew Chapin engineered robust build automation and CI/CD workflows for the NREL/OpenStudio repository, focusing on cross-platform reliability and artifact reproducibility. He modernized Windows and macOS testing pipelines, enhanced incremental build workflows with Docker and CMake, and improved test result visibility through automated dashboards and reporting. Leveraging Python, Shell scripting, and Jenkins, Andrew streamlined dependency management and packaging, including secure artifact delivery for OpenStudio gem releases. His work addressed both feature delivery and bug resolution, such as stabilizing Jenkins pipeline dependencies and refining emission code mappings in SEED-platform/seed, demonstrating depth in DevOps, workflow automation, and build system configuration across complex environments.

Monthly summary for 2025-10 (NREL/OpenStudio): CI/CD feature delivery and stability improvements via Jenkins Pipeline Shared Library Version Management. Implemented pinning to a bug-fix version to ensure stable builds, with an exploratory path to default to the latest stable to capture new fixes. Commits included: 64553126e133823c2d6dc185c97dc9c6376b2769 (Update Jenkins library reference to fix-bug version) and 6424d087d229d3c5704973ba725cba0a5d364c0e (Remove specific version reference from Jenkins library to use the latest stable version).

May 2025: NREL/OpenStudio delivered two focused feature updates and reinforced build reliability around artifact delivery. Key work centered on updating gem delivery for RC1 and May 2025 release artifacts, with traceable commits for auditability. Key features delivered: - OpenStudio Gems RC1 upgrade to v3.10.0-RC1: update build to fetch OpenStudio gems from RC1 v3.10.0; adjust URLs and download logic accordingly. Commits: 9a1c02488ee1692ca42f19791af734bdadc110d5; da728d3f6c88f0a12daac727ef2b855a63fb1d43. - Gem packaging and checksums updated for May 23, 2025 release: update gem package filenames and MD5 checksums to reflect May 23, 2025 release; commit: 942779cab89d34a9e3d6ea76914658eab39f7263. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed this month; focus remained on feature delivery and build integrity. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved build reliability and artifact reproducibility, enabling safer downstream consumption of RC1 features and May 2025 release artifacts. - Reduced risk of mismatched artifacts in CI by aligning fetch logic and packaging with official release artifacts. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Release management and artifact handling for Ruby gems - MD5 checksum validation and packaging integrity - URL handling, download logic, and build script adjustments for RC and release artifacts - CI-friendly artifact synchronization and traceability
