Build & Automation Platform for CFD Simulation Software

Technologies: Java, Groovy, Bash, Gradle, Spring Boot, MongoDB, Jenkins, XSL/XSLT, Git, Agile/Scrum

• Architected a multi-configuration orchestration engine in Bash for large-scale simulation software, supporting parallel execution across build configurations, with auto-generated HTML dashboards and structured XML reporting.
• Developed Gradle-based plugins in Groovy for automated data publishing and metadata upload to centralized databases, improving traceability and release-level failure categorization.
• Engineered framework support for a next-generation solver runtime (v1.0 and v2.0), redesigning environment setup, path resolution, and JVM argument handling across the build pipeline.
• Enabled ARM architecture support by refactoring build options and resolving hard-coded vectorization flags, extending platform coverage to ARM-based Linux environments.
• Implemented graceful process lifecycle management for long-running jobs, ensuring proper cleanup of child processes, and accurate status reporting on interrupts.
• Built XML report generation plugins with XSL transformations, resolving data integrity issues in CDATA handling, and cross-mode log linking for CI integration.
