Worked on security hardening and release engineering for the open-edge-platform/edge-microvisor-toolkit repository, focusing on the Vim component. Addressed two critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-47814 and CVE-2024-43802, by upgrading Vim to version 9.1.0791 using C and Shell scripting. Outdated patches were removed and the package specification was refreshed to streamline ongoing patch management. Amharic language support was added, enhancing localization readiness for broader user coverage. All updates were consolidated into a single commit, improving maintainability and traceability. The work demonstrated skills in package management, security patching, and system administration, with an emphasis on robust, maintainable engineering practices.
