PROFILE

Costa Bushnaq

Over several months, contributed to build system modernization and macOS packaging across root-project/root and OSGeo/gdal repositories. Migrated multiple modules from legacy Makefile-based workflows to CMake, improving build manageability, cross-platform compatibility, and CI/CD integration. Defined tests, libraries, and executables in updated CMakeLists.txt files, while removing obsolete Makefiles to streamline maintenance. In OSGeo/gdal, stabilized macOS framework packaging by resolving Ninja-byproduct header handling, aligning metadata with Apple guidelines, and simplifying run-time path resolution for downstream applications. Work consistently focused on C++ development, build system management, and CMake, resulting in more reliable, maintainable, and scalable infrastructure for complex software projects.
