Andrew led coordinated release engineering across the DUNE software stack, delivering versioned, dependency-aligned builds for repositories such as dunecore, dunesw, and duneopdet. He implemented CMake-based version control and ups/product_deps management to ensure reproducible builds and streamlined downstream deployment. Using C++ and Python, Andrew automated batch job submission and grid computing workflows, notably in EMPHATICSoft, enabling scalable Monte Carlo production. His work included refactoring build scripts, resolving Clang compatibility issues, and integrating LArSoft upgrades for forward compatibility. The depth of his contributions established robust release discipline, improved CI reliability, and reduced integration risk across complex, multi-repository scientific software environments.

May 2025 focused on release readiness and dependency alignment for the 10.06 series. Delivered coordinated version bumps and dependency updates across seven DUNE repositories, establishing a stable baseline for downstream builds and deployments. Key outcomes include updated dependencies to 10_06.00, patch increments to 10.06.00d01, and consistent changes in CMakeLists.txt and ups/product_deps to support reproducible builds and streamlined deployment.

April 2025 focused on delivering a coordinated release cycle across the DUNE software stack, establishing the v10_05_00d00 baseline and upgrading core dependencies to improve stability and feature access. Seven repositories were updated in lockstep to align versioning and build metadata, preparing the suite for downstream validation and production use. Note: no explicit bug fixes were performed; changes target stability, compatibility, and release readiness through dependency and versioning optimizations.

March 2025 release engineering across seven DUNE repositories (dunecore, duneopdet, dunesim, dunereco, duneprototypes, dunesw, duneana). Delivered the 10.04.x release series by applying a coordinated sequence of version bumps from 10.04.04d00 through 10.04.07d01 in CMakeLists.txt and ups/product_deps. This work ensures a consistent release state for the 2025-03 cycle and improves downstream dependency tracking and rebuild reproducibility. No major bug fixes were reported; focus was on release readiness and cross-repo alignment. Overall impact includes reduced integration risk, better traceability of changes, and smoother patch availability for downstream users. Technologies demonstrated include CMake-based versioning, ups/product_deps management, release engineering discipline, and multi-repo coordination.

January 2025 release cycle across the DUNE suite focused on release engineering, versioning discipline, and dependency alignment. Delivered coordinated maintenance and patch releases across dunesw, duneopdet, duneprototypes, dunesim, duneana, dunereco, and dunecore, standardizing release versions to 10.03.01d02 (and transitioning from 10.02.02d01 where applicable). Consolidated multiple commits into single release updates per repo, improving traceability and reducing version drift. This work enables reproducible builds, stable downstream packaging, and smoother hotfix workflows across the ecosystem.
