Chris Pinkenburg

Worked on modernizing the Fun4All_JetAna macro in the sPHENIX-Collaboration/analysis repository to ensure compatibility with ROOT 6+ and streamline the sPHENIX analysis workflow. Refactored C++ code by updating include paths, function signatures, and input manager configurations, removing legacy ROOT 5 dependencies to align with current ROOT practices. Focused on reducing technical debt and improving future maintainability, these changes unified build expectations and facilitated cleaner builds. Demonstrated skills in C++, data analysis, and the ROOT framework while maintaining clear version control practices. The work laid the foundation for future enhancements and supported more reliable downstream analyses within the project.
