Worked on the lemonade-sdk/lemonade repository to address server reliability issues affecting non-English Windows environments. Focused on stabilizing server behavior by implementing a conversion path from system locale code page output to UTF-8, which resolved HTTP 500 errors caused by improper encoding handling. Developed a robust function in C++ that ensures consistent UTF-8 output across server endpoints, improving cross-locale compatibility. Emphasized error handling and system programming techniques to enhance the SDK’s stability. Although no new features were added during this period, the work demonstrated depth in diagnosing and resolving complex encoding issues using C++ and UTF-8 encoding expertise.
