Worked on the pq-code-package/mldsa-native repository, delivering three targeted features over three months focused on build optimization, memory efficiency, and modularity for embedded systems. Applied C and assembly programming to streamline build rules, including renaming assembly units for clearer cross-language object handling and introducing conditional compilation to exclude unused cryptographic components, reducing binary size and build times. Enhanced memory efficiency by disabling unnecessary polynomial unpacking tables in non-shared builds, improving runtime performance. Further improved code modularity by localizing data table symbols with static qualifiers, reducing symbol leakage and increasing safety. Demonstrated depth in low-level programming, build system configuration, and cryptography.
In April 2026, pq-code-package/mldsa-native delivered a focused enhancement to improve modularity and encapsulation for single-CU builds. Implemented a static qualifier on data table declarations to localize symbols to the current compilation unit, reducing symbol leakage and increasing safety.

March 2026 summary: Delivered performance and memory efficiency optimization for polynomial unpacking tables in pq-code-package/mldsa-native. Implemented conditional compilation to disable unused unpacking tables for non-shared builds, reducing memory footprint and improving runtime efficiency for targeted parameter sets. The change touched aarch64 path (polyz_unpack_table.c) and was committed as 9c62dedc9b855a049eaf0d58f6bb0089a6ac35fd. No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus was feature delivery and build optimization.

February 2026: pq-code-package/mldsa-native — Build system optimization and maintainability improvements delivered. Renamed the assembly unit to provide unique names, simplifying build rules and making object-file generation cross-language friendly. Implemented conditional exclusion of Keccak-f1600x2/x4 when not used under MLD_CONFIG_SERIAL_FIPS202_ONLY, reducing unnecessary compilation and potentially decreasing binary size. These changes enhance maintainability, reduce build times, and improve overall clarity of the build process.
