Alamoda focused on improving developer experience and documentation quality across two open-source projects. For ZcashFoundation’s zebra repository, Alamoda addressed a critical build failure on Arch Linux by updating the README with a Markdown-based workaround that sets CXXFLAGS to include cstdint, stabilizing builds after a GCC update and reducing onboarding friction. In zingolabs’ zingolib, Alamoda clarified regtest wallet creation in the documentation, ensuring developers understand that a temporary wallet is automatically generated during local network testing. Throughout both projects, Alamoda applied strong documentation skills and Markdown proficiency, delivering targeted, traceable updates that directly addressed developer pain points and workflow clarity.

September 2025 focused on improving developer onboarding and documentation quality for regtest workflows in zingolib. Delivered Regtest Wallet Creation Documentation Clarification, clarifying that a temporary wallet is automatically created in regtest mode and updating the README to reflect wallet creation during local network testing. This reduces onboarding time and prevents confusion for developers running the regtest binary. No critical bugs fixed this month; the effort targeted documentation and clarity to accelerate local testing and iteration. Overall impact: smoother onboarding for regtest users, better alignment between docs and implementation, enabling faster development cycles.

May 2025 (Zebra - ZcashFoundation): Delivered a targeted workaround documentation update to stabilize Arch Linux builds after a recent GCC update. The README now documents a build workaround that sets CXXFLAGS to include cstdint to prevent failures on Arch, addressing a critical cross-platform issue. The change reduces build instability on Arch, speeds up developer onboarding, and improves CI reliability for Arch/Linux builds.
