Shahak contributed to the starkware-libs/sequencer repository by delivering targeted improvements to network discovery, integration testing, and build proposal workflows. Over four months, Shahak enhanced node discovery stability by implementing sleep-controlled polling using Rust and libp2p, reducing network overload and improving reliability. He improved the robustness of Starknet integration tests by adjusting phase durations, aligning test scenarios with real-world conditions. Shahak also updated scripting to ensure testnet validation matched the correct branch, increasing reproducibility. By resolving merge conflicts and standardizing error handling in build proposal logic, he strengthened maintainability and consistency across asynchronous workflows, demonstrating depth in distributed systems engineering.

July 2025: Focused on stabilizing the Build Proposal workflow in the Sequencer, delivering a reliable initialization path and robust error handling. Resolved merge conflicts in build_proposal.rs to enable consistent block-building initiation and proposal content retrieval, with standardized error handling to improve maintainability and downstream reliability.
