Over four months, Gianluca Petrillo enhanced configuration management and build stability across the SBNSoftware/sbncode, sbndcode, and icaruscode repositories. He unified GENIE beam configuration templates to standardize neutrino simulation setups, leveraging C++ and CMake for maintainable, reproducible workflows. Petrillo refactored geometry and service management for LArSoft v10 compatibility, modernizing Python utilities and clarifying dependency structures. His work included eliminating redundant configurations, improving code readability, and resolving build regressions in gallery analysis pipelines. By focusing on dependency management, CI reliability, and code clarity, Petrillo delivered robust, scalable solutions that streamlined onboarding and reduced maintenance overhead for HEP simulation software.

December 2024 monthly summary for SBNSoftware/sbncode: Delivered a unified GENIE beam configuration template for BNB and NuMI, enabling standardized beam definitions across SBN experiments. Implemented shared configuration files that define beam time structures and parameters (intensity, bucket timing, Gaussian width) for both beams, facilitating consistent and scalable neutrino interaction simulations. This centralizes configuration management and accelerates study pipelines across experiments. No major bugs fixed this month; priorities focused on feature delivery, standardization, and cross-experiment collaboration. Technologies/skills demonstrated include GENIE configuration management, version-controlled template development, cross-repo collaboration, and template-driven configuration for reproducible simulations. Overall impact: improved reproducibility, faster onboarding for new analyses, and reduced setup time for neutrino simulations, delivering tangible business value through standardized, scalable simulation configurations.
