Magdalena Tamas developed a suite of shell and C utilities in the dianaelena1/OS repository, focusing on automating assignment setup, text processing, and file management for course labs. She engineered shell scripts to initialize assignments, batch message users, and clean up stray files, streamlining lab provisioning and reducing manual effort. Her work included a Bash script for detecting repeated words across files and C programs for word removal and byte manipulation, each with robust input validation and error handling. By iteratively refining features and maintaining code quality, she demonstrated depth in shell scripting, C programming, and file system operations.

May 2025: Implemented two core utilities and a supportive shell script in the dianaelena1/OS repository, delivering automated text/file processing and directory inventory capabilities. Core deliverables include: (1) Text and File Processing Utilities (C): a word-removal tool that deletes a specified word from text (correctly handling standalone words, punctuation, and substrings) and a program that removes bytes at even offsets from a file. (2) Shell Script Utilities: a script that recursively lists and counts occurrences of directory and file names within a given directory, with input validation and usage instructions, plus a minor cleanup removing an IGNORE placeholder. These changes are backed by four commits across two features, with explicit references to work items.

March 2025: Delivered a cohesive Lab S1 shell scripting toolkit in dianaelena1/OS, enabling automated assignment initialization, batch messaging, and file utilities (G1.sh, S1.sh) plus a cleanup routine to remove stray files. The work streamlined course-lab provisioning, improved reproducibility, and reduced manual setup time. Progress was tracked via multiple commits showing iterative refinement.
