Worked on compiler development and graphics API validation, focusing on SPIR-V and shell scripting. Contributed to the KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools repository by implementing support for OpImageSampleFootprintNV in the validator, which improved validation accuracy for image sampling footprint instructions and addressed gaps in NV extension support. Used C++ to update validation rules and helper functions, ensuring the toolchain correctly recognized new SPIR-V instructions. Additionally, enhanced cross-platform compatibility in the shader-slang/slangpy repository by updating the setup.sh script’s shebang to use /usr/bin/env bash, maintaining core functionality while reducing environment-related issues in CI and diverse Unix-like distributions.
