Worked on stabilizing memory management in the espressif/openocd-esp32 repository, focusing on the GDB Server component to address a memory corruption issue. Delivered a targeted bug fix in C that ensured gdb_port_next was properly allocated before being freed, using strdup to safely duplicate strings and prevent invalid memory operations. This approach improved the robustness of the debugging workflow for ESP32 embedded systems, particularly under memory analysis and during extended debug sessions. The work demonstrated strong debugging and memory management skills, contributing to more reliable production tooling and reducing the risk of crashes in long-running or resource-constrained environments.
