Jingning worked on the libsdl-org/aom repository, delivering a series of AV1 encoder enhancements and stability improvements over six months. He implemented sharpness-driven quantization, adaptive transform search, and long-term reference statistics to improve encoding efficiency and image quality, using C and C++ for low-level optimization and algorithm tuning. His work addressed edge-case failures, assertion errors, and test instability by refining motion compensation, rate control, and chroma quantization logic. Through targeted bug fixes, code refactoring, and robust unit testing, Jingning improved maintainability and reliability, demonstrating depth in codec optimization, image processing, and performance tuning for both lossless and real-time encoding scenarios.

September 2025: Focused AV1 encoder enhancement for Shorts in libsdl-org/aom. Introduced a new lt_coded_error statistic in first-pass encoding statistics to evaluate prediction error when using a long-term reference frame, updated accumulation/normalization to incorporate the metric, and integrated last2_frame as a potential long-term reference. This codec rework targets better bitrate control and encoding efficiency for Shorts.
