Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Configuration management and version handling - XML/GeomScan configuration updates and data table references - Debugging and maintaining repository-wide configuration consistency - Focus on business value: reliability, maintainability, and accuracy of simulation workflows.

October 2025: Delivered feature enhancements across SBNSoftware repositories sbncode and sbndcode, with a focus on richer physics metadata, enhanced data processing capabilities, and CI standardization. Key outcomes include GENIE event record enhancements in CAFMaker for better event categorization and analysis; DNN configuration improvements in sbndcode to improve data processing with label/tag support; and CI updates to include the standard SCE data processing file, ensuring compliance with project standards. No major bugs reported this period; activities were driven by feature delivery and process improvements. Business value: improved data capture quality, more efficient processing pipelines, and reproducible, standards-aligned workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: GENIE metadata extensions, DNN tagging and configuration, CI/CD configuration, cross-repo collaboration, and data pipeline modernization.

September 2025: SBNSoftware/sbncode stability and correctness improvements focused on trigger information handling. No new user-facing features delivered this month; major bug fix implemented to guard trigger processing so it only executes when SubRun POT > 0, preventing handling of uninitialized/zero POT values in real SBND data. This change improves data integrity and reduces downstream debugging.

August 2025 focused on strengthening data fidelity for detector-variation analyses and stabilizing CI/builds for sbndcode. Implemented a coherent data retention and detsim configuration strategy to preserve essential simulation products (SimPhotonsLites, SimEnergyDeposits) across detvars, refined drop/keep policies, and added safeguards to prevent re-run errors. Completed a CI fix to ensure calorimetry configuration loads, reducing build failures. These changes improve reproducibility, reduce errors during re-runs, and accelerate downstream physics studies, with hands-on improvements in config management, version-control discipline, and SBND simulation workflows.

July 2025 performance summary for SBNSoftware/sbndcode. Delivered targeted configuration changes and codebase hygiene to streamline reconstruction output, reduce data footprint where possible, and align detector properties with Run1 study. Implemented Wiener drop configuration, updated electron lifetime defaults, and removed obsolete lifetime configurations. These changes improve processing efficiency, reduce maintenance risk, and simplify future deployments and physics workflows.

April 2025: Key feature delivery and calibration improvements in SBNSoftware/sbndcode. Delivered T0 timing calibration support by enabling T0 correction in raw digit processing for both data and MC reconstruction. The capability is configurable via a boolean flag, enabling safe deployment and iterative validation. This change strengthens calibration accuracy and timing alignment across data and MC workflows, improving the reliability of reconstructed events and benefiting downstream physics analyses.

February 2025 monthly summary for SBNSoftware/sbndcode: Addressed a critical data acquisition issue by fixing raw digit data source labeling and module configuration. Implemented DigitModuleLabel='daq' and synchronized caloskim analyzer with the correct RawDigit producers ('daq' or 'simtpc2d:daq'), via two commits. This work improves data integrity, processing reliability, and paves the way for stable calibration workflows.

January 2025: Delivered a configurable waveform processing workflow and ensured retention of raw digit data in the SBNDCode (SBNSoftware/sbndcode) pipeline. Implemented file naming clarity improvements and reinforced data provenance across reco1 to support downstream analyses and future workflow configurations. These changes enhance reproducibility, accelerate onboarding for waveform analyses, and provide a solid foundation for expanded processing capabilities.
