PROFILE

Paul Henshaw

Worked on the gem/oq-engine repository over four months, focusing on both documentation quality and backend code improvements. Addressed documentation hygiene by updating README files, removing outdated or broken external links, and ensuring license references and version information were current, which reduced user confusion and improved onboarding. On the technical side, enforced UTF-8 encoding for non-binary file operations and refactored data handling to support internationalization, moving location-specific data to appropriate modules. Utilized Python and Markdown for code and documentation, applying skills in code refactoring, file handling, and version control to enhance maintainability, data integrity, and compliance across the project.
