March 2026 monthly summary: The DUNE software stack achieved a coordinated 10.20.x release readiness across seven repositories (DUNE/duneana, DUNE/dunecore, DUNE/dunesim, DUNE/dunesw, DUNE/duneopdet, DUNE/dunereco, DUNE/duneprototypes). Release engineering and dependency hygiene were strengthened through multiple, aligned version bumps and dependency updates, enabling smoother integration with newer modules and downstream features. Notable feature work includes Build and Dependency Stabilization in duneana and Release Versioning Scheme Update in dunecore, along with Release Versioning and Dependency Alignment in dunesim, dunesw, duneopdet, dunereco, and duneprototypes for the 10.20.x series. ProtoDUNE CI/Test Suite Revamp in dunesw removed legacy protoDUNEdp tests and added regression tests for ci_reco_s0 and ci_reco_s1, improving CI reliability and coverage. A critical bug in SolarNuAna analyze() was fixed by correcting indentation and a missing parenthesis in SolarNuAna_module.cc, restoring correct functionality. Overall impact includes faster, safer releases with reduced integration risk, improved build stability, and stronger test coverage, directly supporting faster delivery of features and fixes with higher confidence. Technologies and skills demonstrated include cross-repo release engineering, versioning strategy, dependency management, CMake/product_deps alignment, CI/test modernization, and multi-team collaboration.

February 2026 performance summary: Led a cross-repo dependency and version upgrade initiative across seven DUNE repositories (DUNE/dunesw, DUNE/duneopdet, DUNE/dunereco, DUNE/dunecore, DUNE/duneana, DUNE/dunesim, DUNE/duneprototypes) to align versions and dependencies for improved compatibility and faster feature adoption. Actions included updating dependencies to latest compatible versions, validating build stability, and ensuring consistency of versioning across environments. A targeted bug fix in Dunereco aligned DuneCore and DunePrototypes version strings with updated dependencies, eliminating environment drift and simplifying release cycles. The consolidated effort enhances cross-environment compatibility, reduces environment-related failures, and accelerates access to new capabilities for downstream workloads.
