Worked on the flexcompute/tidy3d repository, focusing on backend reliability and scientific computing features using Python. Developed gradient correctness checks and boundary validation for PolySlab autograd operations, improving differentiation accuracy for slab geometries. Enhanced simulation usability by implementing scientific notation formatting for frequency range warnings, ensuring consistent and clear user feedback. Strengthened input validation by enforcing minimum grid spacing in UniformGrid via Pydantic validators and comprehensive unit tests, reducing simulation instability. Improved API robustness by introducing dedicated error handling for invalid task IDs, including a custom WebNotFoundError and clearer user-facing messages. Emphasized thorough testing and validation throughout all contributions.
