Worked on reliability and performance improvements across open source networking and system software. In the curl/curl repository, addressed a protocol-level issue by aligning the ngtcp2 handshake timeout with the --connect-timeout parameter, reducing connection failures under variable network conditions. This fix required deep understanding of C programming, network protocols, and precise debugging. Later, contributed to openwrt/packages by optimizing the Btop application's log path, migrating it from persistent flash storage to a tmpfs location to minimize flash wear and improve router performance. Demonstrated proficiency in C++ development, build system management, and adherence to project standards through careful code review and patch submission.
