January 2026: Key feature delivered was Polkadot parachain bootnode updates to improve node discovery, connectivity, and network performance. Westend bootnodes were removed in favor of new parachain bootnodes to enhance reliability across the Polkadot ecosystem. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: faster bootstrapping and more robust parachain connectivity, supporting smoother onboarding and higher network uptime. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Polkadot/Substrate bootnode management, network topology optimization, and Git-based release tracking (commit fd7201748cadd73ff08674a534552983518b49c2).

In April 2025, delivered Stakeworld RPC endpoints for Polkadot Coretime and Polkadot People services within polkadot-js/apps. This work expands network connection options and integrates new endpoints into the production relay network configuration, improving accessibility and reliability for downstream clients. The changes were implemented via a focused commit and prepared for production rollout.
