PROFILE

Max West

Worked on the Smithsonian/layup repository over three months, focusing on cross-language integration and core library enhancements in C++, Python, and CMake. Delivered a Python API for orbit fitting by refactoring C++/Python bindings and resolving dependency issues, enabling file-based workflows and improving maintainability. Developed a Prediction API with batch processing and NumPy-to-Eigen conversion utilities, modularizing prediction logic for scalable inference. Integrated an autodiff library as a git submodule, establishing automated test coverage and repeatable builds. Emphasized code organization, dependency management, and robust build systems, laying a foundation for future extensibility and reducing integration risk across the project’s evolving architecture.
