Contributed to the OpenRakis/Spice86 project by developing a native DOS API emulation testing suite and enhancing command-line interface reliability. Leveraging Assembly, C, and C#, implemented native DOS test programs and scripts to improve regression testing and emulator verification. Refactored CLI parsing to support multiple numeric formats, strengthened input validation, and resolved encoding issues, resulting in more robust cross-platform compatibility. Introduced comprehensive unit tests and addressed static analysis warnings to ensure code quality and maintainability. The work enabled repeatable, CI-ready testing workflows and broadened automation capabilities, demonstrating a methodical approach to software development, refactoring, and command-line interface engineering.

April 2025 (2025-04): Implemented a native DOS API emulation testing suite for Spice86, drastically improving verification of partially implemented DOS APIs and demonstrations of program execution and TSR behavior. Delivered a curated set of native DOS test examples (assembler and C) plus supporting programs and scripts (build, clean, hello, exec, c_exec, tsr) to enable repeatable testing and CI readiness. The work provides a concrete baseline for regression testing, accelerates API stabilization, and strengthens overall emulator reliability.
