PROFILE

Nikki Pallat

Over five months, Palladino enhanced data processing and trigger systems in the SBNSoftware repositories, focusing on sbndcode and sbnobj. He developed and refined C++ data structures to support robust trigger emulation, improved Monte Carlo workflow reliability, and streamlined build configurations using FCL and CMake. His work included tuning PMT decoder analytics, optimizing baseline management across runs, and reducing memory and processing overhead by removing obsolete configuration elements. By aligning data models and improving configuration management, Palladino enabled more accurate physics analyses and reproducible pipelines, demonstrating depth in C++ development, data analysis, and embedded systems within a collaborative research environment.

Work History

January 2026

1 Commits • 1 Features

Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 monthly summary for SBNSoftware/sbndcode. Delivered data processing pipeline optimization by removing monitoring pulse data from the reco1 configuration. This change reduces the data handling footprint at the earliest reconstruction stage, simplifying configuration and improving processing throughput. The work was implemented in a single, well-traced commit (bb7c35926d913499c751f4fc99da0bc0b84c41e4) that drops MonPulses and MonPulseSizes at the reco1 level. Impact: faster runs, lower maintenance burden, easier future configuration refinements. Skills demonstrated: configuration management, impact analysis, precise git-based change tracking, and collaboration within the SBND codebase.
