During October 2025, Angelos Pappas developed asymmetric transition support for the gdsfactory/gdsfactory repository, expanding the extrude_transitions feature to allow per-edge waveguide transitions and greater design flexibility. He introduced the TransitionAsymmetric model and enhanced the API to support asymmetric transitions, enabling more complex and fabrication-faithful photonic geometries. His work focused on Python-based object-oriented programming and geometry processing, with careful attention to class definition and data modeling. By reducing manual engineering steps and broadening the design space for waveguide layouts, Angelos delivered a well-structured, extensible foundation for future enhancements, demonstrating depth in both CAD library development and full stack implementation.
