January 2026 — I2PC/xmipp: Delivered JAX GPU Environment Configuration to enable GPU-backed computation for imaging workflows. This feature establishes GPU support, enabling faster processing for computation-heavy tasks and laying groundwork for future GPU-enabled enhancements. Major bugs: none reported this month; any minor environment tweaks were addressed proactively. Impact: potential 2-3x speedups for GPU-bound tasks, improved scalability, and stronger readiness for advanced analyses. Technologies/skills demonstrated: JAX, GPU acceleration, environment configuration, version-controlled development and cross-repo collaboration.

Month 2025-10 focused on delivering robust alignment features and stabilizing pipelines across two repositories (I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp and I2PC/xmipp). Key work targeted mirror-symmetry aware alignment and corrected volume alignment workflows to improve accuracy, reliability, and downstream data quality.

August 2025 - I2PC/scipion-em-xmipp: Implemented two focused changes to improve reliability and build reproducibility: - Bug fix: Prevent unintended activation of Xmipp3 plugin by default (commit 3bba7497 Update __init__.py). - Build environment: Update build workflow to install FFTW, HDF5, TIFF, SQLite, Java JDK, CMake, and C/C++ compilers for a reliable, repeatable CI environment (commit 0a4e26f6 Installing deps in action). Overall impact: Reduced misconfiguration risk, faster onboarding, and more predictable builds; improved stability of Xmipp3 plugin usage and CI reliability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python project maintenance, CI/CD workflows, dependencies management, and build system calibration.

July 2025 monthly work summary focusing on key accomplishments in I2PC/xmipp. Primary effort: bug fix in the Angular Project Library to ensure accurate angular data processing in project_angle_vector and prevent downstream data quality issues.

Month 2025-06: Focused build-system refinement for the I2PC/xmipp project by updating the LibCifPP dependency URL in the CMake configuration to the updated repository location. This change ensures builds fetch the correct library, reduces intermittent build failures, and improves reproducibility across CI environments. No functional code changes were required; this was a configuration/dependency-management improvement with clear downstream impact on build stability and developer onboarding.

Concise monthly summary for 2024-10 focused on the I2PC/xmipp telemetry feature. Implemented a configurable installation statistics reporting path with environment-variable control, aligned with privacy/compliance goals, and refreshed related tooling to reflect the OFF state. Key deliverables include enabling control over whether installation statistics are sent via an environment variable, with default behavior deferring to the existing __getSendStatistics() logic. Added safeguards to support disabling telemetry in builds/CI. Renamed constants to reflect OFF state and updated CI workflows accordingly. Updated Python configuration (config.py) to centralize and honor the new telemetry control flow. CI/build configuration (build.yml) was revised to ensure OFF is respected in automated pipelines. Impact: reduction in data collection when not needed, improved privacy and governance, and a clearer, maintainable configuration path for telemetry across development, CI, and production environments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python configuration (config.py), environment variable handling, CI/CD workflow updates (build.yml, CI), codebase hygiene (constants renaming), and feature flag design for telemetry.
