Contributed to the casey/bdk repository by enhancing Bitcoin wallet reliability and security through targeted improvements in Rust. Focused on expanding automated test coverage for fee estimation accuracy and CLTV timestamp-based locktime behavior, which strengthened the robustness of Electrum client integration and time-locked transactions. Additionally, addressed wallet transaction finalization by improving PSBT handling, emphasizing defensive programming and input validation to reduce failure modes and prevent panics. These efforts resulted in safer transaction processing, reduced regression risk, and clearer quality signals for stakeholders. Work demonstrated depth in Bitcoin Core integration, transaction fee calculation, and wallet development, with a strong emphasis on maintainability.
