Signal Android — Tracked down why the app freezes when sending a photo to a new contact from the camera. Dug through the threading model, identified that two background processes were deadlocking each other because the app set off a file upload before a recipient was even selected, and traced it to a single line fix in the send pipeline. → PR #14674

Ente ✅ Merged — Spotted that a button was consistently stomping over other UI elements when viewing photos. Sneaked into the layout logic, figured out it was always rendering at a fixed position without checking what was already there, and fixed it by making it calculate available screen space dynamically before positioning itself. → PR #9296
Fun fact: I was a competitive National-level Badminton athelete. Challenge me to a match? 🏸
