* As an RSE at the UK’s national synchrotron, I worked initially with theTomography software team in the Data Analysis group, developing newsoftware for beamline scientists to use for high-throughput tomography.* Developed a tool for fast beamline data transfer from one file system to another and deployed it using Kubernetes.* Improved the CI/CD pipelines for DIALS, an open-source software for Macromolecular Crystallography.

* Worked full-time with the compiler team at GSI Technology (US office) on developing LPython, an ahead-of-time fast Python compiler, built using the Abstract Semantic Representation (ASR) technology on top of LLVM, with a strong focus on numerical code.* I worked hard on all aspects of the compiler to bring it from a prototype to production, including contributing to the parser, the semantic analyzer, the intermediate representations, the backends, and the runtime library. * Helped the team design, improve, and as a result, simplify the ASR intermediate representation (the most important layer where high-level optimizations are done), and to do that implemented all the changes in both the frontends (LPython & LFortran), as well as the backends (LLVM, C, C++, etc).LPython (lpython.org/) is much faster than the state-of-the-art. All contributions are on GitHub.

GitHub user: github.com/namannimmo10* Actively developed the code base of SymPy, an open-source Python library dedicated to symbolic computation. It is built with a focus on extensibility and ease of use through interactive and programmatic applications.* Made contributions across several modules - the most notable being the enhancement of sympy.physics* Member of SymPy since May 2020

Google Summer of Code, often abbreviated to GSoC, is an international annual program in which Google awards stipends to student developers who successfully contribute to an open-source software coding project during the summer under the guidance of mentors.I was a mentor for one student developer with the SymPy organization: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6135134387961856

* Developed a Control Systems engineering module for the SymPy open-source project from scratch * Sympy-control is purely symbolic in nature, and makes computations easier for Control theory experts and students* Followed test-driven development - all code was reviewed, improved, documented, and then pushed for merging
