Tristan contributed to Monkestation/Monkeris and Tsar-Salat/BeeStation-Salatland by building and refining core gameplay systems, including mining balance, loot spawning, and mobility features. He applied backend development and C++ (DM) skills to refactor data models, enhance system reliability, and streamline initialization logic, notably improving machine processing and ore data alignment. His work on UI consistency, map safety, and subsystem cohesion addressed both player experience and maintainability. Tristan also delivered targeted bug fixes, such as stabilizing world events and mobility subsystems, demonstrating a methodical approach to code quality. His engineering consistently emphasized traceability, modularity, and future extensibility across repositories.

September 2025 (Monkestation/Monkeris): Delivered two core feature updates with targeted balance, data integrity, and performance improvements. Business value includes improved resource flow, gameplay balance, and maintainability, enabling faster tuning and fewer runtime issues.

In January 2025, the Monkestation/Monkeris team delivered two high-impact features that strengthen tooling, customization, and gameplay fidelity. The Superglue Tool was designed and integrated, with improved adhesive quality and updated material composition, and is documented in the technomancer's design disk. Helmet Appearance Customization for the Insulated Technomancer enables switching helmet visuals between visor and goggles via an in-game wrench, with corresponding updates to armor.dm to support the new item interaction. These changes enhance modifiability, player-driven customization, and system consistency, and are backed by traceable commits for future maintainability.
