Worked on accelerating libpng in the aseprite/libpng repository by implementing RISC-V Vector (RVV) optimizations, focusing on both performance and maintainability. Over four months, delivered RVV-based filter row processing using C and assembly, integrated new build options, and transitioned RVV support from runtime to compile-time checks. Enhanced the build system with Autotools and CMake, improved detection and flag handling, and refactored code to use C intrinsics for vector operations. Documentation and naming consistency were improved, and legacy runtime detection was removed, resulting in a streamlined, reliable RVV 1.0 integration that simplifies future maintenance and supports RISC-V platforms.
July 2025 monthly summary: Delivered targeted RISC-V Vector (RVV) 1.0 support for libpng, focusing on maintainability and determinism. Refactored RVV integration to a compile-time check, removing runtime detection and related files (README, linux.c), and streamlined initialization paths.

June 2025: Focused on enabling RISC-V RVV vectorization in aseprite/libpng and stabilizing related build and runtime paths. Consolidated commit set that enables RVV support, improves detection and runtime availability checks, stabilizes autotools and CMake build flows, avoids overwriting of compiler flags during SIMD detection, and refactors filters to use C intrinsics. Also performed targeted code cleanup and runtime check simplifications to improve maintainability and reliability.

March 2025: Delivered RISC-V Vector (RVV) acceleration and refactor for libpng (aseprite/libpng). Implemented RVV-based acceleration with new intrinsics for optimized filter row processing, updated the build system to reflect 'rvv' naming, and added a Linux-specific runtime check to ensure RVV support before usage. Completed a comprehensive code cleanup renaming macros/files/functions from 'vector' to 'rvv' for clarity. Also performed targeted fixes and improvements to the RVV path, enhancing stability and performance (commit: ffb8e8b26f2c18798863a173945cf4f292ab1f0a).
