During December 2024, Davi Souto developed per-game launch options for the hydralauncher/hydra repository, enabling users to customize and persist launch settings for individual games. He designed a dedicated database schema and implemented parsing utilities using TypeScript and SQL, integrating these features into the Windows game launch flow. Davi improved the user experience by refining the UI with input debounce and interface cleanup, leveraging React and Electron. He also addressed a stability issue by modifying the launcher to start games as detached processes, ensuring games continued running independently. This work demonstrated thoughtful backend and frontend engineering with attention to reliability and usability.
