Worked on the shadps4-emu/shadPS4 repository, delivering core features and stability improvements for a PlayStation 4 emulator over four months. Focused on C++ and Vulkan, the work included implementing Vulkan buffer synchronization barriers to reduce data hazards in the rasterizer, enhancing shader recompilation with floating-point atomic operations, and improving memory management through explicit cache invalidation and protection tracking. Developed graphics driver instrumentation and robust error handling to aid debugging and performance analysis. The technical approach emphasized correctness, reliability, and performance, resulting in a more stable Vulkan rendering path and improved developer confidence in graphics and system programming workflows.
