Worked on the bmw-software-engineering/lobster repository to refactor file handling logic, focusing on improving reliability and maintainability. Migrated the codebase from os.path to Python’s pathlib, standardizing path operations and simplifying code paths for better cross-platform consistency. This update reduced technical debt by removing legacy imports and aligning file I/O components with modern best practices. The work emphasized code readability and maintainability, making future enhancements easier and reducing the likelihood of path-related bugs. Utilized Python and code refactoring skills to deliver a single feature update, with minor cleanups around file path handling but no major bug fixes during the period.
