Worked on the u-root/u-root repository to expand system boot capabilities by implementing direct booting from ISO files stored on removable drives, enabling more flexible field deployments and recovery workflows. Addressed robustness in the boot subsystem by refining URL handling within the getFile function, ensuring correct URL construction and preventing malformed paths during boot and grub operations. Leveraged Go for backend and system programming, focusing on bootloader development and file system management. The work demonstrated careful incremental delivery, clear commit practices, and attention to code hygiene, resulting in improved maintainability and reliability of the boot components within the project.
