Contributed to the JoyOfCodingPDX/KatasSummer2025 repository by developing robust date utilities, including a leap year calculation feature that correctly handles negative years, zero, and Gregorian calendar rules, all implemented in Java with comprehensive unit testing. Enhanced the RPN calculator with an isDigit utility and expanded test coverage, while also updating Maven build configurations to reduce dependency drift. In game development, established the foundational scaffolding for Minesweeper initialization, enabling configurable board dimensions and test hooks for mine placement logic. Additionally, improved documentation and commit hygiene, ensuring maintainable code and streamlined future development. Demonstrated strengths in algorithm implementation, Java, and software development.
