During April 2025, this developer enhanced the LLNL/axom repository by implementing MFEM Make-based Build Target Integration, focusing on improving build-system compatibility when MFEM is built with Make rather than CMake. The solution automatically creates and configures the MFEM target, ensuring that include directories are properly added to Axom’s build target even in environments lacking CMake configuration files. This approach reduced manual setup and increased reliability for non-CMake workflows, strengthening interoperability between Axom and MFEM. The work demonstrated proficiency in C++ development, build systems, and CMake, with an emphasis on maintainability and robustness rather than bug fixing during this period.
