Contributed to the optiland repository by developing advanced features for optical design and simulation, focusing on freeform mirror systems and surface modeling. Leveraged Python, Jupyter Notebook, and Matplotlib to implement labeled visualization, analytic Zernike polynomial geometry, and robust error handling for optimization workflows. Enhanced the codebase with object-oriented design, improved normalization for non-spherical surfaces, and introduced surface classification for clearer downstream integration. Prioritized maintainability through code cleanup, comprehensive documentation, and tutorial development, including detailed onboarding materials and illustrative visuals. These efforts improved user experience, modeling accuracy, and long-term maintainability, supporting both developer productivity and user adoption across the platform.
