Rico Haeuselmann contributed to the GridTools/gt4py repository by developing the SDFGConvertible Program, enabling automated conversion of GT4Py programs to DaCe SDFGs for the dace_fieldview backend. He enhanced backend flexibility by introducing input and output field extractors, improving GTIR transform handling, and refining connectivity table management. Rico also ensured robust end-to-end validation through comprehensive Python-based testing. In a separate effort, he updated the codebase and CI pipeline for Python 3.14 compatibility, refreshing dependencies and stabilizing build processes. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, compiler infrastructure, and continuous integration, addressing both feature delivery and long-term maintainability.

November 2025 (GridTools/gt4py): Delivered Python 3.14 compatibility and CI/dependency updates to enable running the project on the latest Python release. No major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on compatibility and build-system stabilization, reducing upgrade risk for users and improving CI reliability. Business value: ensures users can upgrade to Python 3.14 with confidence, enhances release stability, and lowers maintenance costs. Technologies demonstrated: Python 3.14, CI/CD pipelines, dependency management, and cross-version testing.
