January 2026 focused on enhancing carpool routing accuracy and reinforcing test reliability for the opentripplanner/OpenTripPlanner project. Key deliverable: Carpool Routing Duration Enhancement, which refactors duration calculation for multi-stop carpools to use the origin-to-destination duration instead of the baseline, improving routing precision and user experience (commit 33001d88b68276d699df7ba156f89077eb0607e9). Major bug fix: InsertionEvaluatorTest was refactored to use deterministic routing functions, ensuring identical outputs for identical inputs and boosting test reliability (commit ad6174dfa8d84c4ad5842a1cdc297458ae4287c5). Overall impact: higher quality carpool routing and more stable CI, enabling faster iteration and safer deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Java, routing algorithm refinement, unit/integration testing, test determinism, and commit traceability.
