Worked on the MonoGame/MonoGame repository, focusing on stability and cross-platform reliability for graphics and input systems. Addressed a Vulkan backend crash on macOS by introducing an optional layerCount parameter to the ToVkImageViewType function, enabling correct handling of 2D texture arrays and improving rendering stability for Vulkan-backed projects. Later, resolved a DesktopVK input initialization issue by refactoring mouse visibility logic to read directly from the IsMouseVisible property in NativeGamePlatform, ensuring consistent startup behavior across Linux platforms. Demonstrated proficiency in C#, C++, Vulkan API, and platform-specific programming, with careful attention to safe refactoring and cross-platform consistency.
Month: 2026-04 Summary: Focused on stabilizing startup input behavior for DesktopVK on MonoGame. Delivered a targeted bug fix to ensure mouse visibility is respected at startup by reading IsMouseVisible directly in NativeGamePlatform, avoiding reliance on an uninitialized Game instance. This resolves issue #9221 and aligns Linux/DesktopVK behavior with other platforms. Implemented in commit 698442da96f4f542b4807d48331997851626eb69 (related to PR #9249). Impact: more reliable startup UX, fewer user-reported visibility glitches, and improved cross-platform consistency. Demonstrated capabilities in C#, MonoGame architecture, DesktopVK backend, and safe constructor-level refactoring to minimize risk.
