Over ten months, Altieri developed and maintained advanced document editing and workflow features for hcengineering/platform, focusing on collaborative authoring, QMS lifecycle management, and editor extensibility. He engineered rich text and Markdown editors using TypeScript and Svelte, integrating Tiptap plugins for dynamic content embedding, table manipulation, and inline commenting. His backend work included API development, PostgreSQL data migrations, and robust access control, ensuring data integrity and secure collaboration. Altieri also contributed to libsdl-org/SDL, addressing low-level bugs in C and Metal API to improve texture management and macOS stability. His work demonstrated depth in both frontend architecture and backend reliability.

October 2025 monthly summary for libsdl-org/SDL: focus on stability improvements in the Cocoa video driver related to cursor handling. The key delivery is robust NULL cursor handling in ShowCursor to prevent crashes when the cursor is updated by SDL_RedrawCursor, improving reliability for macOS applications using SDL. Impact: Reduced crash surface for macOS apps, fewer crash reports, and smoother cursor updates across the Cocoa driver. This aligns with ongoing goals of platform stability and developer confidence in SDL’s macOS support. Technologies/skills: C/C++, macOS Cocoa integration, defensive programming, null-checks and pointer safety, changelist traceability.

September 2025 summary for libsdl-org/SDL: Key backend fix in Metal pipeline to correct 3D texture upload stride calculation, preventing data corruption and rendering artifacts. This work directly improves visual correctness and stability for SDL on Apple Metal, reducing customer defect risk and support tickets. The change uses the 2D slice stride (sourceBytesPerImage) rather than the total 3D region size, aligning with Metal texture semantics.
