Andreas Hatziiliou developed and refined build systems and cryptographic tooling across the pq-code-package/mlkem-c-aarch64 and mldsa-native repositories, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and developer experience. He implemented environment-aware rebuild triggers and adaptive terminal output using Makefile and Shell scripting, ensuring reproducible builds and improved usability. Andreas enhanced error handling in C by updating random number generator APIs to return explicit status codes, enabling robust detection of cryptographic failures. He standardized CI linting error messaging and integrated ShellCheck-based linting, streamlining onboarding and accelerating issue detection. His work demonstrated depth in cross-platform build automation, CI/CD, and secure systems programming.
Month: 2026-03 — Focused on improving CI linting usability by standardizing error messaging across two repositories, aggregating failed checks and surfacing detailed guidance in the CI context. This accelerates triage, improves build reliability, and establishes cross-repo tooling standardization. Key deliverables include two commits implementing lint error messaging enhancements in mlkem-c-aarch64 and mldsa-native.

Month: 2025-10 — Focus: reliability and correctness in builds for the mlkem-c-aarch64 repository. Key features delivered: bug fix implementing an Environment Variable-Aware Rebuild Trigger. Major bugs fixed: addressed issue #1150 where changes to environment variables did not trigger a rebuild. Overall impact: more reliable, reproducible builds, reduced risk of stale binaries, and faster feedback in CI. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Makefile-level build orchestration, environment variable handling, and state restoration with cached config.
