During January 2026, Helma Azouz focused on backend development and data acquisition for the oqc-community/qat repository, addressing a critical data integrity issue in the scope trace collection pipeline. She implemented a Python-based solution that enforced a minimum sample size for scope traces, preventing under-sampling and improving the reliability of acquired data. Her approach included robust unit testing to validate the changes and ensure reproducibility across the pipeline. By aligning code and documentation with data quality standards, Helma enhanced the stability and accuracy of scope trace analytics. This work demonstrated depth in backend engineering and a strong emphasis on data quality.
