Akhtaboot focused on build system and package management improvements across srid/nixpkgs and Saghen/nixpkgs. In srid/nixpkgs, they enhanced the Python packaging workflow by migrating the pyfxa package from setuptools to hatchling and resolving missing test dependencies, which improved build reliability and dependency hygiene. They also automated monolith package updates by integrating a Nix update script, reducing manual maintenance and risk of breakages. In Saghen/nixpkgs, Akhtaboot delivered the Mullvad VPN 2025.3 release, updating package metadata and application artifacts for both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures. Their work leveraged Nix, Python, and system administration skills to ensure secure, reproducible builds.

February 2025 (Saghen/nixpkgs) — Delivered Mullvad VPN 2025.3 release, updating both the package and application artifacts to ensure secure, reproducible builds and alignment with upstream changes. The package metadata was upgraded to 2025.3 with updated version strings and checksums for Linux x86_64 and ARM64. The Mullvad VPN application package was also updated to 2025.3, including changes to the libwg source fetch hash and the vendor hash. These updates reinforce security, improve build reproducibility, and enable smooth deployment of the latest Mullvad VPN features across architectures.
