Weili Li contributed to the VEuPathDB/EbrcModelCommon repository by building and refining data ingestion pipelines, modernizing dataset delivery, and establishing foundational architecture for new modules. Over six months, Weili overhauled sequence data workflows, introduced file compression to optimize transfers, and unified dataset handling for formats like GFF and BAM. Using Perl, Python, and shell scripting, Weili improved automation reliability, streamlined configuration management, and enhanced data integrity across backend systems. The work included targeted bug fixes, infrastructure alignment, and code refactoring, resulting in more maintainable pipelines and smoother integration with web services. The engineering demonstrated depth in backend and data engineering.

May 2025 (VEuPathDB/EbrcModelCommon): Delivered a focused feature to improve data handling and Web Services readiness. Implemented a file rename/refactor for organism-specific miscellaneous data and updated naming to support Web Services integration, enabling smoother downstream workflows and better maintainability. No major bugs were documented this month; changes were targeted improvements with clear commit messages for auditability.

March 2025 — VEuPathDB/EbrcModelCommon: Modernized dataset delivery and standardized data pipelines. Key accomplishments include unifying dataset handling with manualDeliveryToWebService for GFF/BW/VCF/BAM; consolidating dataset classes (stableIdsEvents and stableIdsEventsIndividual); replacing wgetArgs with manualDeliveryDir; centralizing BigWig generation by moving createGffBigWig to organismSpecificMiscNoAlias.xml; and updating copy workflow to copy_gff_dir_structure.pl. Also improved reliability with an unpack command fix and a targeted debugging fix. Impact: increased pipeline reliability, reduced manual steps, and easier onboarding of new datasets; skills demonstrated: Perl scripting, XML/config management, data-pipeline automation, and debugging.
