Angus contributed to the firedrakeproject/firedrake and COSIMA/cosima-recipes repositories, focusing on stability, maintainability, and documentation quality. He addressed memory management by removing a reference cycle in VecAccessMixin and improved checkpointing for Dirichlet boundary conditions, ensuring user-defined objects remained unaltered during simulation restarts. Angus enhanced the CI pipeline with G-ADOPT smoke tests, enabling early validation of cross-framework compatibility. In COSIMA/cosima-recipes, he updated Read the Docs configurations and resolved Sphinx documentation issues, improving build reliability and readability. His work leveraged Python, CI/CD, and Sphinx, demonstrating a disciplined approach to testing, refactoring, and technical communication across projects.
