Worked on enhancing memory management reliability in the google/filament repository by addressing a bug in Vulkan stage pool garbage collection. Focused on updating last accessed timestamps for both stages and images, the solution ensured that resources were correctly tracked and reclaimed during garbage collection cycles. This approach mitigated risks of memory leaks and misallocation, improving the overall stability of the Vulkan backend. The work demonstrated proficiency in C++ and the Vulkan API, with careful attention to memory lifecycle and resource allocation. Collaboration was managed through Git, emphasizing robust debugging practices and precise, stability-oriented improvements to the codebase’s memory management logic.
