Shreelakshmi Iyengar developed new device integrations for the i19-2 beamline in the DiamondLightSource/dodal repository, focusing on BacklightPosition and HDFPanda. She implemented these devices with full configuration and unit testing, establishing a device factory pattern to streamline HDFPanda data acquisition and enable seamless instantiation in the i19_2.py module. Using Python, AsyncIO, and EPICS, her work improved automation and reliability in data collection, supporting faster experimental workflows and broader instrument compatibility. The depth of her engineering is reflected in the robust configuration management and enhanced test coverage, which together reduced setup time and increased the reliability of beamline operations.
