Contributed to the canonical/mir repository by advancing Wayland protocol support, focusing on KDE server decoration integration and xdg-shell-unstable-v6 protocol enhancements. Developed and integrated the org_kde_kwin_server_decoration interfaces, enabling clients to select between server-side and client-side window decorations through Mir’s DecorationStrategy. Used C++ and CMake to scaffold protocol wrappers and align unit tests with new interfaces, ensuring robust test coverage while reducing duplication. Maintained and cleaned up the test suite to streamline maintenance and minimize regression risk. This work improved KDE compatibility and extended Wayland protocol functionality, demonstrating depth in Linux development, protocol implementation, and UI/UX design integration.
