Technologies/skills demonstrated include C++ code hygiene, RPC/docs integration, and disciplined refactoring with strong commit traceability.

May 2025 focused on stabilizing wallet block processing and reorg handling in bitcoin/bitcoin. Implemented robustness improvements to wallet block processing, including updating the last processed block in memory (SetLastBlockProcessedInMem), adding a null check for the block locator before writing, and expanding wallet reorg/restoration tests with additional logging and assertions. These changes reduce risk of state drift during reorgs, improve data integrity, and enhance test coverage, contributing to a more reliable wallet experience and lower maintenance cost.
