# Michele Grimaldi - Portfolio

## 🛠️ Open Source Contributions

### unDAW

- Contributed to the [unDAW](https://github.com/Amir-BK/unDAW) project, an open-source Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for **Unreal Engine**.

- My spatial audio codes, available in the repository [My-Cpp-Codes-For-UnrealEngine](https://github.com/Mike014/My-Cpp-Codes-For-UnrealEngine), were integrated into the project.

- Focused on algorithms for improving spatial audio rendering and optimizing audio performance.

---

### Axelrod

- Worked on the [Axelrod](https://github.com/Axelrod-Python/Axelrod) project, a framework for simulating strategies and tournaments in the prisoner's dilemma.

- **Key Contributions (using Tox for testing and debugging):**

  - **Fix test issues and optimize test execution**:

    - Used **Tox** to identify and fix the `TestOpponent` import error in `test_sequence_player.py`.

    - Refactored test classes with `__init__` constructors to resolve `PytestCollectionWarning`.

    - Addressed **UserWarnings** in `test_memoryone.py` and `test_memorytwo.py` related to default player settings, ensuring better compatibility.

    - Handled the seed reproducibility warning in `test_player.py` to guarantee deterministic test results.

    - Resolved the `RuntimeWarning` in `test_zero_determinant.py` caused by invalid division.

    - Optimized test execution by running tests in parallel with **pytest-xdist** to improve efficiency.

    - Fixed minor warnings related to test strategies and examples.

    - Refactored `test_tournament.py`:

      - Renamed files from `stochastic_tournament` to `deterministic_tournament` for consistency.

      - Added logic to remove existing output files before re-generating them to prevent conflicts.

      - Improved seed handling for deterministic and stochastic tournaments.

    - Updated `OpponentTest` class:

      - Renamed from `TestOpponent` for clarity and better pytest compatibility.

      - Removed the `__init__` constructor and replaced it with a static `strategy` method.

    - Adjusted Hypothesis-based tests (`test_property.py`):

      - Replaced `.example()` with the `@given` decorator for better random test generation.

      - Reduced test examples (`max_examples=3`) to speed up execution without affecting coverage.

  - **Documentation improvements**:

    - Updated `docs/Makefile`:

      - Removed the `-W` flag to prevent warnings from being treated as errors during documentation builds.

      - Added comments to clarify changes and facilitate future updates.

    - Revised `CHANGES.md` to document fixes, improvements, and new optimizations in tests and configurations.

  - **Configuration updates**:

    - Enhanced `tox.ini`:

      - Added `pytest-xdist` for parallel test execution.

      - Included `isort` and `black` checks for code consistency.

      - Updated Python environment configurations to support Python 3.11 and Python 3.12.

    - Consolidated and updated dependencies in `requirements.txt` and `docs/requirements.txt`:

      - Added missing dependencies (`pytest`, `pytest-xdist`, `tox`, `numpy`, etc.).

      - Updated versions of several libraries (e.g., `numpy`, `hypothesis`, `matplotlib`) to ensure compatibility.

  - **Performance and reliability**:

    - Used Tox to debug and fix warnings related to reproducibility, including seed warnings and floating-point operations.

    - Improved test reproducibility by centralizing seed initialization and ensuring consistent random behavior across runs.

    - Enhanced test reliability by enforcing deterministic outputs in `test_tournament.py`.

This work was completed with **Tox** as the primary tool for testing, debugging, and ensuring compatibility across multiple Python environments.

### LiSE

## Recap of Work on the **[LiSE](https://github.com/Mike014/LiSE)** Project 

### ***First Commit***

- Created a new Python virtual environment (`venv312`) to ensure compatibility with Python 3.12, using the required modules.

- Installed necessary dependencies, including `msgpack`, `pytest`, `tox`, `black`, and `isort`.

- Configured `tox` to test the project in a specific Python environment (3.12).

- Used `pytest` to run the project tests and resolved the following issues:

  - **DeprecationWarnings** related to the use of `ast.Num` and `ast.Str`, updating them to ensure compatibility with Python 3.14.

  - **PytestUnknownMarkWarnings**: Corrected or registered custom markers `@pytest.mark.big` and `@pytest.mark.slow` to avoid warnings.

- Used **Black** to automatically format the project code according to PEP 8 standards.

- Used **isort** to organize imports in the code files.

- Fixed sorting errors and formatted the following files:

  - Example files (`examples/*.py`).

  - Main modules (`LiSE/`, `ELiDE/`).

  - Test files (`tests/*.py`).

- Resolved a warning related to `tarfile.py` by specifying the `filter` argument to prepare for upcoming changes in Python 3.14.

- Applied fixes compatible with future versions of the language to ensure backward compatibility and project scalability.

- Properly configured the Git user:

  - **Email**: `mikgrimaldi7@gmail.com`.

  - **Username**: `Mike014`.

- Made a significant commit with the message:

  > "Fix warnings and format code, Resolved DeprecationWarnings, formatted code with Black, and cleaned up imports using isort."

- Planned to push changes to the GitHub repository [LiSE](https://github.com/Mike014/LiSE.git).

- The work improved:

  - Code readability.

  - Future compatibility of the project with newer Python versions.

  - Code structure and consistency.

- Ready to share the changes with the open-source project community.

### ***Second Commit***

Refactored code, improved documentation, and updated configuration:

- Applied code refactoring across multiple files for consistency and readability.

- Enhanced the Sphinx documentation:

  - Added detailed sections for `Introduction`, `Design`, and `ELiDE`.

  - Improved the structure and formatting of `.rst` files.
