Worked on the canonical/multipass repository to enhance reliability, security, and robustness of the SSHFS server. Developed a security-policy extension by updating the AppArmor profile to allow vcpkg-installed libraries, enabling the use of modern dependencies while maintaining strict security controls. Improved test reliability by synchronizing pthread_kill and sigwait in watchdog tests and refining gmock expectations, which reduced flaky CI behavior. Addressed memory safety by fixing dangling pointers in alias creation, capturing paths by value within lambdas. Utilized C++, Linux administration, and mocking frameworks throughout, resulting in more stable deployments and a stronger security posture for system programming environments.
