Jorge Ferreira contributed to The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD by developing and enhancing 3D pin access, visualization, and routing features over four months. He implemented OpenGL-based 3D viewers and improved chiplet visualization widgets, refining Z-level calculations for accurate modeling. Using C++, Qt, and Python, Jorge optimized placement algorithms, consolidated routing constraints to reduce congestion, and strengthened code quality through refactoring, logging, and test automation. His work addressed multi-layer design challenges, improved maintainability, and restored compatibility in IO handling. By focusing on robust algorithm design and software engineering practices, Jorge delivered features that improved accuracy, scalability, and reliability across the OpenROAD design flow.
