September 2025: Delivered national-level analytics capabilities in EDAEngine for google/meridian, enabling scalable cross-context data handling (geo and national), improved data modeling, and robust testing. Refactors and new data structures reduce duplication and confusion (national_ prefix, removal of legacy Geo singleton). Implemented organic reach/frequency data exposure, KPI and population data arrays for non-national analyses, and a comprehensive pairwise correlation framework with national checks. Strengthened test infrastructure to boost reliability and performance.

Summary for 2025-08 focused on delivering a robust Meridian EDA Engine core, expanding media data handling, and hardening the model against edge cases. Key outcomes include the core EDAEngine with media_raw_da, media_scaled_da, and media_spend_da properties, a cached controls_scaled_da, and associated tests. Fixed critical robustness issues in Media Transformer (reject all-zero or all-NaN channels) and KPI validation for contribution priors to restore KPI variability, with CHANGELOG updates and test coverage.

March 2025 — Focused on reliability and visibility of ROI optimization in google/meridian. Key features delivered: BudgetOptimizer warning system for unmet ROI constraints (with unit tests) and enhanced validation for Flexible Budget Optimization stopping criteria to converge on the target ROI. Major bugs fixed: Stabilized convergence by correcting the stopping condition and added tests to prevent regressions. Overall impact: More accurate ROI forecasting, early warnings prevent underperformance, and stronger test coverage reduces risk of silent failures. Technologies/skills demonstrated: ROI optimization algorithms, private method design, unit testing, test-driven development, and code integrity improvements.
