PROFILE

Gavin S. Davies

Worked on modernizing the build system and improving robustness for the EMPHATICSoft/emphaticsoft repository, focusing on C++ and CMake. Delivered a migration from cet_rootcint to ROOT’s REFLEX for dictionary generation, updated dependencies, and removed obsolete components to streamline builds and enhance maintainability. Addressed compilation and runtime issues in ARICH Reco by fixing header includes, replacing deprecated constructs, and improving memory management. Additionally, standardized FHiCL configuration blocks to ensure consistent GeometryService usage, reducing configuration drift and runtime errors. These efforts improved build reliability, portability, and configuration management, supporting faster releases and smoother integration with the ROOT ecosystem.

In April 2026, delivered a targeted fix to ensure all FHiCL service blocks use GeometryService to align with registered art services, preventing service mismatches and improving runtime reliability across the EMPHATICSoft/emphaticsoft repository. Major bug fixed by standardizing service labels across configuration blocks in EventDisplay and MomReco, driven by commit 422d1649699eed1de89aa69bf838e5bddfe9808f, updating EventDisplay/eventDisplay.fcl, EventDisplay/eventDisplay01.fcl, and MomReco/momreco_job.fcl. This change reduces configuration drift, enhances maintainability, and ensures consistent geometry handling across modules.
