PROFILE

Ben Selfridge

Ben Selfridge contributed to the GaloisInc/saw-script repository by expanding hardware modeling capabilities and improving developer onboarding. He implemented support for the '$ff' cell type in the Yosys integration, ensuring it is handled identically to '$dff' within netgraph and state management, which enhances sequential element coverage for downstream verification. Using Haskell and his expertise in hardware description languages, Ben also focused on documentation, updating the README to guide cabal-based users through compatibility steps and reduce build friction. His work demonstrated depth in both compiler development and functional programming, addressing practical workflow issues and extending the tool’s verification scope.

April 2025 saw Saw-script extend Yosys integration by adding support for the '$ff' cell type. '$ff' is functionally equivalent to '$dff' and is now handled identically in netgraph and state management components. This increases hardware description coverage, improves modeling accuracy for sequential elements, and reduces manual work in downstream verification. No major bugs were reported this month. The change is tracked via a focused commit and lays the groundwork for broader Yosys coverage. Technologies demonstrated include: Yosys integration, netgraph/state management, and disciplined, traceable feature delivery.

March 2025: Focused on reducing build friction for cabal-based users of saw-script. Delivered a concrete README update with guidance to run 'cabal update' to ensure compatibility with the current build process, mitigating potential build issues. No major bugs fixed this month for saw-script; maintenance-oriented work prioritized documentation and onboarding improvements. The change improves reliability and accelerates onboarding for contributors relying on cabal-based workflows.
