Contributed to the EQEmu/Server project by delivering targeted improvements in network reliability, build systems, and code maintainability. Applied modern C++ practices to enhance memory safety in network packet management, reducing runtime risks and simplifying long-term maintenance. Developed a GM-specific fast camp bypass feature, ensuring safe, gated deployment for moderation tools. Addressed critical bugs in movement normalization and refactored core network classes for clarity, leveraging skills in C++, CMake, and dependency management. Modernized the build process with vcpkg integration and updated CMake configurations, improving cross-platform reliability and onboarding. Work demonstrated a focus on robust, maintainable server and network programming solutions.

April 2025 (EQEmu/Server): Stability and robustness improvements in movement normalization. Addressed a critical infinite loop in FixHeading by replacing the while loop with a modulo operation to ensure heading stays within the 0-511 range, preventing hangs during movement calculations and improving runtime reliability for simulations.
