February 2025: In LLNL/sundials, focused on robustness of data visualization tooling. Key deliverable: fixed the Python plotting script by removing an erroneous data-dimension sanity check that misvalidated dimensions for both serial and parallel outputs, ensuring correct processing across configurations. This was implemented in commit e5dfac9a4af86c5480734aa8428c7c7277f00ae8. Overall, improved reliability of plots and reduced downstream debugging, delivering business value by ensuring accurate data representation across output configurations. Technologies demonstrated include Python scripting, debugging, and Git workflows, with attention to cross-config validation.
