Work History

December 2025

1 Commits • 1 Features

Dec 1, 2025

December 2025: Delivered median-based predictions for the Flatliner model in OpenSTEF/openstef, achieving more accurate forecasts in non-zero flatliner scenarios. Introduced an option for non-zero flatliner prediction and switched the computation from mean to median. Updated the core implementation and formatting to improve code quality and maintainability. These changes enhance forecast reliability for real-world load profiles and demonstrate the team's ability to implement robust, data-driven improvements with clear collaboration.

Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 (OpenSTEF/openstef) focused on stabilizing telemetry and improving communications through two critical bug fixes. Delivered MLflow Logging Compatibility Fix to support MLflow 3.0+ by making the step argument conditional on the MLflow version and updating related serializer logic. Also updated organizational email addresses across project files to reflect the new lfenergy domain, enhancing external communications and onboarding. These changes reduce runtime logging errors, improve reliability of metrics, and improve maintainability and cross-team collaboration.

Dec 1, 2024

December 2024 (OpenSTEF/openstef): Delivered key enhancements to code quality and CI/CD reliability. Updated GitHub Actions workflows to use newer versions of actions, integrated Black code formatting with review suggestions, and pinned specific versions of scikit-learn and Black to ensure deterministic builds and consistent behavior. These changes reduce build failures, standardize code quality, and speed up onboarding by providing clear feedback in pull requests. Primary commit 670a8e757ca995008e396672d2864c1d82a30a0a updated the Black GitHub Action to emphasize review suggestions, enabling earlier detection of formatting issues.
