Worked on the PaperMC/Paper repository to enhance plugin-loading reliability by focusing on error handling and class loading in Java. Over two months, addressed two critical bugs in the PluginClassLoader and PaperPluginClassLoader, improving the clarity and robustness of zip file error reporting. By including plugin names in exception messages and guarding against zip closure issues, enabled faster cross-plugin debugging and reduced runtime exceptions during plugin load. These targeted changes improved server stability and plugin compatibility without altering existing plugin behavior. Demonstrated expertise in Java, plugin development, and defensive programming, with a focus on maintainability and operational observability for server operators.
