Worked on cross-platform backend and build system improvements across the 89luca89/distrobox and chimera-linux/cports repositories. Delivered a portability-focused refactor for distrobox-enter by replacing the tac command with awk in shell scripts, ensuring reliable line reversal on both BSD and GNU systems while reducing external dependencies. Upgraded the Stockfish chess engine in chimera-linux/cports, first to version 17.1 and later to version 18, refining build configurations, updating neural network evaluation data, and improving integrity verification through updated checksums and metadata. Leveraged Python, Makefile, and shell scripting to enhance maintainability, reproducibility, and cross-environment compatibility in backend development workflows.
