PROFILE
Benedict Oakes
Worked on dstl/Stone-Soup to modernize its development workflow and architecture by introducing a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline using CircleCI, Python, and YAML. Established automated testing across multiple Python versions, enforced code quality with Flake8, and implemented automated documentation generation with artifact storage. Refactored legacy orbital functions into a modular astrodynamics plugin, laying the foundation for a plugin-based architecture that improves maintainability and extensibility. Developed and documented a deprecation and migration strategy for orbital features, providing clear upgrade guidance for users. Focused on modular programming, code refactoring, and robust documentation to support scalable development and smoother onboarding for future contributors.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Implemented a deprecation and migration strategy for orbital functions in Stone-Soup to pave the way for the new astrodynamics plugin. Added top-level deprecation warnings for orbital functions, readers, and types, with explicit migration guidance to remove in future versions. While preserving current compatibility, this work clarifies upgrade paths, reduces long-term maintenance risk, and sets the foundation for a plugin-based architecture that improves extensibility and onboarding for users.
