Cameron Parker developed and integrated a FastJet-compatible Final State Hadron Reader within the JETSCAPE/JETSCAPE repository, enabling streamlined parsing and exposure of event-level hadron data for scalable jet analyses. Using C++ and object-oriented programming, Cameron designed the JetScapeReaderFinalStateHadrons to process input files, manage per-event data, and expose cross-section, event weight, and event plane information in a format suitable for downstream workflows. Additionally, Cameron addressed a critical initialization-order bug in HybridHadronization, ensuring custom Pythia strings are correctly applied after initialization. This work improved data ingestion reliability, reproducibility, and configuration management for complex event-generation and analysis pipelines.
