Contributed to the 86Box/86Box repository by delivering a range of features and fixes focused on localization, printer emulation, and build system reliability. Over nine months, implemented comprehensive Polish localization using Weblate, ensuring full UI coverage and improved accessibility for Polish-speaking users. Enhanced printer driver support by expanding ESC/P 2 protocol features, refining graphics rendering, and introducing user-configurable options, all in C and C++. Addressed build system compatibility for Qt 6.10 through CMake adjustments, and resolved hardware configuration bugs. Demonstrated a methodical approach with commit-level traceability, collaboration on translation workflows, and attention to maintainability across embedded systems and UI development.
April 2026: Focused on accessibility and reliability for 86Box/86Box. Completed Polish localization to 99.9% coverage via Weblate, with minor string refinements, and fixed a BIOS-related RAM issue by raising the minimum RAM for Lucky Star LS-486E from 1 MB to 2 MB. These changes improve Polish-speaking user experience and overall system stability, supported by a clean commit trail and translation workflow.
