Over a two-month period, contributed two major features to the JabRef/jabref repository, focusing on enhancing user experience and maintainability. Developed an auto-completion preferences management system by refactoring Java-based preferences handling, introducing centralized methods for retrieving settings from the backing store, and simplifying defaults management to support future scalability. Later, implemented citation key pattern customization via the command-line interface, enabling per-entry-type key generation and improving automation flexibility. This work included foundational refactors, improved robustness, and comprehensive documentation updates. Demonstrated expertise in Java, CLI development, and software documentation, delivering features with clear traceability and alignment to project goals.
