Zander Koopmans developed and maintained GPU driver compatibility, testing infrastructure, and cross-architecture support for the SagerNet/gvisor repository over a ten-month period. He engineered automated CI pipelines and Docker-based test environments to validate NVIDIA driver and CUDA compatibility across x86_64 and ARM64 platforms, using Go and Shell scripting to streamline test execution and reporting. His work included refactoring build systems, introducing architecture-aware driver installers, and integrating new IOCTLs for enhanced driver observability. By focusing on robust test automation, documentation, and system programming, Zander improved release reliability, reduced maintenance risk, and broadened platform coverage for GPU-accelerated container workloads.
