Mariany Pinkston
Software engineer specializing in full-stack development and test automation.
I'm a developer based in Augusta, Georgia, building useful and well-crafted software to solve complex problems.
About Me
I enjoy shaping every layer of an application, from backend systems to user interfaces. Most of my work is web-based, using TypeScript and other technologies to solve problems. My goal is to build maintainable systems and smart solutions that convert complexity into intuitive functionality.
I love projects that challenge me to think deeply. If you think my experience could be a good fit for your team, or want to learn more about what I can do, feel free to reach out.
Backend Development
I enjoy building high-quality APIs with well-designed infrastructure. I care about crafting reliable, maintainable software that holds up as it grows in complexity.
Automated Testing
Using unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, I work to catch regressions early to keep software reliable as it evolves and instill confidence to ship.

Padding support for texture atlases
While writing a custom shader, I encountered artifacts caused by neighboring sprites in KAPLAY's texture atlas system. This was a reported, lingering issue that was never resolved. So I introduced a setting that adds configurable padding to texture atlases, eliminating these visual artifacts in shaders.

Resolved problematic list mutations
Removing a game object could unexpectedly cause other game objects in the scene to disappear. I traced the bug and found problematic list-mutation operations in the KAPLAY game engine, so I revised the process to handle each object more safely.
