Jaanek Kerma contributed to the chhuusko/SPM repository by developing and refining core gameplay systems, including a robust minimap, weapon progression, and player customization features. He applied C++ and Blueprint scripting to overhaul the minimap and radar subsystems, improving performance and reliability while integrating dynamic UI elements for player feedback. Jaanek enhanced weapon unlocking and input handling, exposing progression APIs to Blueprints for flexible UI integration. His work on asset management and skin selection expanded customization options, while careful refactoring and debugging improved code maintainability and multiplayer stability. The engineering demonstrated depth in Unreal Engine architecture and gameplay programming.
