Technical Projects
Debian for WM8505 Netbooks - Creator & Maintainer
- Develop and maintain a full Debian 13 distribution for obsolete embedded hardware, featuring an automated bash pipeline that manages the entire lifecycle: automated kernel rebasing and building, rootfs bootstrapping, and final disk image creation.
- Executed a major kernel version rebase (v6.1 to v6.12), isolating the essential hardware-specific patches from a complex Git history and resolving the resulting API and build system conflicts.
CAKE with Adaptive Bandwidth - Contributor
- Added irtt support to cake-autorate, a dynamic traffic shaper for OpenWrt that mitigates bufferbloat, providing a crucial UDP source of One-Way Delay (OWD) data where ICMP Timestamps are blocked.
- Engineered the integration to adapt irtt's non-daemonized design by implementing a gawk parser within a bash wrapper that ensures reliable process cleanup.
Report Tool (2017) - Sole Developer
- Developed this full-featured C# WinForms application as an early project, implementing a real-time report queue, syntax-highlighted chat logs, and integrated moderation controls to solve moderator workflow issues.
