PROFILE
Laurence Laforest
Worked on Autodesk/hydra-viewport-toolbox, delivering cross-platform build automation, CI/CD reliability, and GPU-accelerated testing. Over six months, unified dependency management with vcpkg and CMake, stabilized Windows and Linux builds, and expanded CI pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure for GPU validation. Enhanced test environments by normalizing paths, improving RPATH handling, and reducing CI flakiness. Integrated security scanning with Black Duck, ensuring accurate binary asset detection and compliance. Addressed Android and Windows-specific build issues through conditional compilation and improved documentation. Leveraged C++, Bash, and YAML to streamline development, accelerate feedback cycles, and reduce manual maintenance, resulting in more predictable, robust releases.

Sep 1, 2025Summary for 2025-09: Key features delivered include a GPU CI Testing Workflow that enables tests on Azure VM GPUs, expanding validation for GPU-dependent code; and Android Build Unblock via Conditional Test Exclusion that disables failing Android-specific tests to prevent CI bottlenecks. Major bugs fixed include Android-specific tests that blocked the Android build being safely disabled via conditional compilation to unblock CI. Overall impact and accomplishments: These changes improve cross-platform reliability, accelerate feedback cycles, and reduce release risk by validating GPU paths and keeping Android CI flowing. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CI/CD automation and configuration, Azure-based GPU testing, conditional compilation strategies, cross-platform build optimization, and test strategy for GPU-dependent code.
