Worked on Ultimaker/Cura and CuraEngine, focusing on localization, documentation, and GCode generation enhancements over four months. Improved multilingual user experience by updating German and Turkish translations, aligning UI terminology, and refining localization workflows using Localise and disciplined Git practices. Enhanced documentation accuracy and maintained translation consistency to support international adoption. In CuraEngine, delivered a formula parser and refactored GCode generation from char* to std::string, improving safety and maintainability in C++. Addressed extruder end-code handling to ensure correct end-of-print scripting. Demonstrated skills in C++, Python, internationalization, and continuous integration, emphasizing code safety, clarity, and robust localization pipelines.
March 2026 focused on delivering a robust enhancement to CuraEngine GCode generation by introducing a formula parser and improving extruder end-code handling. The work included a critical refactor to use std::string for safer string handling and a dedicated method to finalize extruder end-code by resolving end-code variables. This release aligns with upstream changes, improves reliability of generated GCode, and reduces maintenance risk through safer code.

October 2025: Focused on UI terminology alignment in Ultimaker Cura. Delivered a localization improvement by replacing the term 'deepness' with 'depth' in multi-material painting depth labels, enhancing clarity and consistency for users and translations. This change strengthens the localization foundation for future i18n work and reduces UI confusion around depth terminology.
