PROFILE

Stephen Hewitt

Contributed to WerWolv/ImHex by developing and refining core features in C++ with a focus on UI development, error handling, and robust logging. Delivered a UTC-only time display in the Data Inspector, ensuring consistent cross-time-zone representation and improving Hex Editor popup stability by preventing unwanted collapses. Addressed logging reliability by implementing UTF-8 safe string truncation at Unicode code point boundaries, reducing exceptions and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Collaborated across repositories to integrate encoding-safe logging with libwolv, resulting in more stable logs and fewer incident-driven downtimes. Demonstrated strong skills in C++ development, string manipulation, and cross-component integration throughout the engagement.
