Worked on low-level toolchain improvements for LoongArch, focusing on compiler development and linker scripting in C and Assembly. In espressif/binutils-gdb, enhanced LoongArch linking error reporting by providing clearer diagnostics and actionable guidance when relocations are misused with shared objects or PIE, and added targeted tests to ensure message accuracy. Later, addressed a build compatibility issue in openssl/openssl by replacing la.pcrel with la.global in Assembly code, enabling OpenSSL shared libraries to build successfully with newer binutils. Updated CI scripts and documentation to reflect these changes, reducing build failures and improving deployment readiness for LoongArch-based systems.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Cross-arch build stability for OpenSSL on LoongArch. Implemented a compatibility fix replacing la.pcrel with la.global to satisfy stricter binutils checks, enabling successful builds of OpenSSL shared libraries. Result: reduced CI failures, faster releases, and stronger deployment readiness on LoongArch systems. Demonstrates cross-arch tooling, linker and binutils expertise, and maintainable patch workflow.
