Kom Plows contributed to the SBNSoftware/sbnobj repository by engineering and maintaining the build system, focusing on release management, dependency alignment, and code hygiene. Over eight months, Kom delivered new features such as object model extensions and CRT PMT matching, while systematically upgrading core dependencies like lardataobj to ensure compatibility and reproducibility. Using C++, CMake, and XML, Kom managed version synchronization across related projects, updated CMakeLists.txt and product_deps files, and implemented a targeted bug fix to standardize event weight parameter naming. This work improved build stability, streamlined deployment, and reduced integration risk, demonstrating a thorough and methodical approach to software engineering.
