Justin Hew contributed to the ISSMteam/ISSM repository by developing two core features over two months, focusing on build system robustness and HPC integration. He enhanced Python library detection for Homebrew installations on macOS, improving onboarding reliability by implementing defensive checks in the build configuration. In the following month, Justin engineered end-to-end integration with the Gadi HPC cluster, creating a Python-based workflow for job submission, resource allocation, and automated results retrieval. His work leveraged Python, shell scripting, and PBS job scheduling, demonstrating depth in cross-platform compatibility and cluster management. The solutions addressed installation pain points and streamlined large-scale simulation workflows.

February 2025 update for ISSM development. Delivered end-to-end Gadi HPC cluster integration to enable ISSM simulations on the Gadi system. Built a new Python class 'gadi', queue script generation, and a robust job submission workflow—covering initialization, module loading, resource allocation, SSH launch, and automatic results download. Developed and validated queue scripts for scalable, repeatable ISSM runs. This work reduces time-to-solution for large-scale simulations and improves reproducibility across HPC environments. No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus on feature delivery and reliability improvements. Key commits include: 6775867542687faadaa0fbcfbcd02c207c6d42cd, ebdf473e16856486670f36863f3c17ff5af766c6, 0cae94c89005accbd3d542ffb9776cf7d880a770, f1d57308da49e9788b5d1a88b6734259368f5df8.
