Open Source Contributions
Checkstyle
Actively contributing to Checkstyle, a popular static analysis tool among the Java development community.
Zen Audio Player
Replaced bower packages with corresponding unpkg URLs. This significantly cleaned up the codebase by removing over 100,000 lines of bower_components and updated the project to use more modern CDN-based dependencies, improving load times and maintainability. Updated tests to ensure compatibility with the new setup.
Obsidian Clipper
Added full Bengali localization to the Obsidian Clipper extension interface. This involved translating all UI elements and messages, following Microsoft's standard Bengali localization guidelines to ensure a natural and accurate experience for Bengali-speaking users. The changes are now live for over 100,000 users of the extension.
