Giovanni Minnicelli developed and maintained the MITHIGAnalysis2024 repository, delivering a robust suite of high energy physics analysis tools for jet, muon, and meson studies. He architected modular C++ and Python workflows for data processing, event selection, and machine learning-based signal optimization, integrating technologies such as ROOT, XGBoost, and Bash scripting. His work included building scalable analysis frameworks for Oxygen-Oxygen collisions, implementing track-by-track corrections, and automating environment setup. Giovanni emphasized code organization, reproducibility, and maintainability, introducing standardized code review processes and detailed documentation. The resulting platform enabled reliable, extensible physics analyses and streamlined collaboration across data and Monte Carlo samples.

June 2025 focused on delivering core physics analytics capabilities for OO collisions, enabling more reliable data processing and faster physics insights, along with improvements to data-quality corrections and development workflow. Key outcomes include the introduction of two new analysis frameworks and a standardized code-review process that supports repeatable, reviewable changes across the repository. Key achievements: - OO Collision Main Analysis Framework delivered: new executable, scripts, and parameter/utility headers; refined data processing for OO and PP (commit a2b861d124cf257638d91dd262463772ee782746). - Charged Hadron Analysis Framework with track-by-track corrections; updated Messenger with track properties; new executable and supporting scripts; added standard cuts filter (commit 9280c69ff5d742fe37fd13bd248fd8d3ea366494). - Code-Review Workflow Documentation updated in README to standardize PR handling and review requests (commit 646e74ee6e4d4518beb5ccc155ab7edf1cf6f529).
