Quinn developed and maintained advanced static analysis tooling in the stinb/plugins repository, focusing on MISRA C/C++ compliance, security vulnerability detection, and cross-platform reliability. Over 13 months, Quinn engineered new rule checks, expanded coverage for standards like CWE and SEI CERT, and implemented features such as cyclomatic complexity metrics and multi-language vulnerability scanning. Using C++, Python, and Assembly, Quinn addressed false positives, improved violation reporting accuracy, and streamlined test automation. The work included performance optimizations, documentation cleanup, and robust error handling, resulting in safer code, faster feedback cycles, and a maintainable codebase that supports ongoing compliance and security requirements.
