Shahak contributed to the starkware-libs/sequencer repository, focusing on backend stability and workflow alignment over a five-month period. He improved the Papyrus Network Discovery process by introducing sleep-controlled polling in Rust, reducing network overload and enhancing node discovery reliability. Shahak also strengthened integration testing by extending phase durations, making test scenarios more realistic and robust. He aligned development scripts with testnet branches using Shell scripting, ensuring consistent validation environments. Additionally, he resolved merge conflicts in build proposal and integration components, standardizing error handling and maintaining compatibility with upstream changes. His work demonstrated depth in asynchronous programming, configuration management, and distributed systems.
