Worked on the Mudlet/Mudlet repository to enhance profile isolation and playback reliability within the application. Developed per-profile font management by updating the FontManager to register fonts with profile-specific keys and implementing helpers for loading and unloading, which reduced cross-profile font conflicts. Addressed a major media player stability issue by restructuring ownership and lifecycle management, ensuring QMediaPlayer and QAudioOutput were properly scoped and managed to prevent crashes and memory leaks. Demonstrated strong C++ and Qt framework skills, applying object-oriented programming principles and collaborating on code quality improvements, resulting in more maintainable software and a more robust user experience for audio playback.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 — Mudlet/Mudlet: Delivered targeted improvements to profile isolation and playback reliability, quantifying business value through reduced cross-profile font conflicts and fewer playback crashes. Key features delivered: - Per-Profile Font Management: FontManager now tracks fonts per profile by prefixing registration keys with the profile name and exposing helpers for loading/unloading to ensure profile isolation; Host lifecycle updated to load fonts per profile. Major bugs fixed: - Media Player Stability and Resource Management: Reworked ownership and lifecycle for media playback (QMediaPlayer now managed via profile-scoped ownership and QAudioOutput tied to the media player); added null checks before setVolume and stopped leaks by clearing the source with setSource(QUrl()) instead of recreating outputs. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Stronger profile isolation for fonts, reduced risk of font leakage or conflicts across user profiles; more robust playback with fewer crashes and memory leaks; cleaner ownership semantics in Qt components, leading to more maintainable code. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C++/Qt ownership and resource management, per-profile isolation strategies, and collaborative development (co-authored changes).
