Over four months, Nikita Volkov developed and enhanced the amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client repository, focusing on Android and cross-platform VPN client improvements. He implemented features such as Android gamepad support, OpenGL rendering stabilization, and a shareable VLESS configuration system, using C++, Kotlin, and QML. His work included upgrading to Qt 6.10.1, automating deployment artifact versioning with CMake, and refining Android TV file access. By addressing UI/UX consistency, network operation stability, and platform-specific input handling, Nikita delivered robust solutions that improved user experience, deployment reliability, and maintainability, demonstrating depth in Android development, CI/CD automation, and event-driven programming.

January 2026 focused on improving Android TV file access and tightening cipher-selection UX in amnezia-client. Delivered an Android TV file opening experience enhancement by introducing an intent creation flow that verifies compatible activities, enabling a smoother, TV-friendly file picker. Fixed cipher selection in Settings UI to ensure the displayed and selected cipher match user interactions, plus a dedicated function to update the cipher dropdown index, reducing misconfigurations. These changes improve platform parity, reduce friction for media selection on TV devices, and enhance security settings reliability.
