PROFILE
Erik Fasterius
Contributed to the nf-core/modules repository by developing and refining bioinformatics workflow modules focused on containerization, environment management, and robust data processing. Over three months, delivered features such as direct slide and area input support for spaceranger/count, strict mode adoption for notebook and pipeline processing, and metadata version tracking to improve reproducibility and auditability. Leveraged Groovy, Nextflow, and YAML to refactor input handling, streamline container setups, and align code with evolving standards. Enhanced maintainability by updating test snapshots, refining CI workflows, and implementing naming conventions, resulting in more reliable, future-proof pipelines for bioinformatics data analysis and workflow management.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026: nf-core/modules delivered robustness and maintainability improvements across notebook processing and Spaceranger, plus a Nextflow naming refactor. Key features delivered include strict mode adoption across QUARTONOTEBOOK processing and spaceranger/count, with test and snapshot updates to reflect stricter outputs. Metadata and versioning enhancements across notebooks and Spaceranger enable tool-version tracking and improved test coverage, and a naming convention refactor to use lowercase 'channel' to align with Nextflow conventions. Major bugs fixed include aligning tests and snapshots to strict mode outputs, fixes to test data generation (notably Spaceranger/mkref stub handling) to prevent false failures, and general linting/formatting fixes to ensure stable test results. Overall impact: increased robustness, reproducibility, and maintainability of the nf-core/modules suite, reducing production risk and simplifying auditing of module behavior. Technologies/skills demonstrated: nf-core/modules, Nextflow, Quarto, Papermill, Spaceranger, test snapshot management, and version-tracking in metadata.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for nf-core/modules focused on expanding input flexibility and preparing the ground for broader spaceranger workflow capabilities. Delivered --unknown-slide support in spaceranger/count, enabling direct specification of slide and area inputs. Updated Docker image references, refactored input handling for slide/area, and added stub scaffolds for spaceranger/mkref and spaceranger/mkgtf to support future enhancements. Adjusted test snapshots and CI/workflow configurations to reflect the changes. While no major bugs were reported this month, the work improves usability, reproducibility, and deployment consistency for slide-based analyses across environments.
