Jere Lehtomaa contributed to the CLIMADA-project/climada_petals repository by enhancing flood hazard modeling and testing infrastructure over a two-month period. He improved the reliability of the CoastalFlood and RiverFlood modules by introducing robust mocking of external I/O and refining data validation within Python-based unit tests, which reduced test flakiness and improved CI feedback. Jere also integrated new coastal and riverine flood data from Aqueduct, expanding the dataset for more comprehensive risk modeling. His work emphasized backend development, data engineering, and clear documentation, resulting in safer code changes, faster iteration, and improved traceability without introducing user-facing bugs or regressions.

March 2025: Expanded CLIMADA_petals data coverage by integrating coastal and riverine flood data from Aqueduct, improving flood risk modeling for coastal regions. Updated changelog to reflect the new data source and linked references to two pull requests. Maintained traceability with a dedicated commit. No major bugs fixed this month. Demonstrated skills in data integration, documentation, version control, and cross-repo collaboration.
