Over 16 months, contributed to the chaotic-cx/nyx repository by engineering and maintaining a robust Nix-based build and packaging system focused on cross-platform reliability. Leveraged Nix, Python, and JSON to automate dependency management, streamline kernel and graphics stack upgrades, and ensure reproducible builds across Linux and macOS architectures. Addressed CI and platform-specific failures through targeted configuration and system administration, enabling faster integration cycles and reducing environment drift. Regularly delivered batch updates for core components such as Mesa, wlroots, and Linux kernels, while refining build system management and version control practices to support stable, secure, and maintainable software releases.
