Worked on the disorderedmaterials/dissolve repository, delivering five features and two bug fixes over five months focused on build automation, CI/CD, and code modernization. Upgraded the codebase to C++20, improved benchmarking reliability, and integrated static analysis with cppCheck to enhance code quality and early defect detection. Migrated the build system to Conan 2, refactored CI/CD pipelines using Nix and Singularity, and optimized deployment workflows for faster, more reliable releases. Addressed environment-specific build issues and maintained project hygiene through targeted bug fixes and metadata updates. Utilized C++, Python, and Nix, demonstrating depth in dependency management, DevOps, and modern C++ development.

Oct 1, 2025In October 2025, delivered critical CI/CD and reliability improvements for the dissolve project. Consolidated and refactored the Singularity build pipeline to streamline deployments, improve maintainability, and reduce build times by refining dependencies and file sets. Fixed CI submodule handling by removing a complex workaround and simplifying Nix integration to directly use submodules, increasing CI reliability and consistency across environments. These changes reduce deployment risk and accelerate feature delivery, while improving developer onboarding for future contributions.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (2025-01) monthly summary for disorderedmaterials/dissolve: Delivered codebase modernization and improved benchmarking reliability with targeted CI improvements. Key features and changes included C++20 migration and formatting adoption, and stabilization of the benchmarking workflow with groundwork for energy benchmarking in CI. Notable trade-off: energy benchmarking was temporarily disabled to resolve CI stability issues. The combined effort improved developer productivity, code safety, and measurement reliability, paving the way for reproducible performance assessments.
