January 2026 focused on strengthening input reliability for MonoGame on iOS and tvOS by implementing platform-specific validation for gamepad devices. A bug fix prevented phantom controllers from appearing by validating gamepad profiles before reporting a device as connected, addressing iOS 18 issues and reducing false positives. The changes reduce user confusion and support overhead, while ensuring a smoother gameplay experience on Apple devices. All changes are tracked under MonoGame/MonoGame with the cited commit.

December 2025 (dotnet/aspire): Delivered Adaptive Force-Directed Resource Graph Visualization, enhancing the resource graph layout to dynamically position nodes based on connectivity. This results in clearer graphs for large-resource datasets and enables faster insight for capacity planning and troubleshooting. Implemented in commit bc0cd5d5fb8986e2b5630b65567cfd26be7da493, with co-authorship by James Newton-King to ensure robustness and maintainability. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: improved visualization clarity, scalable graph performance, and a solid foundation for future analytics in Aspire. Technologies/skills demonstrated: .NET/C#, graph layout algorithms, visualization techniques, and collaborative Git workflows.
