Contributed to the Autodesk/maya-usd repository by enhancing USD relationship attribute handling and refining the Attribute Editor’s display logic, focusing on schema-driven workflows and custom attribute support. Applied C++, Python, and CMake to expose relationship properties as generic attributes within UFE, improve validation, and ensure correct population of attributes based on schema types. Prioritized code quality through targeted refactoring, formatting, and documentation updates, which improved maintainability and developer onboarding. Addressed test stability by remediating false negatives and clarifying schema-driven attribute handling. The work emphasized robust API development, reliable unit testing, and streamlined developer experience for Maya USD integration and maintenance.
