Led development of major release with completely redesigned UI, interactive drag-and-drop routing, and enhanced snapping functionality. Featured at QGIS User Conference in Norrköping, Sweden with presentation and workshop.

Created a dedicated version of ORSTools for QField, enabling mobile field data collection with advanced routing capabilities. Adapted the UI for touch interfaces.

Added a new method `QgsVectorLayer.as_geopandas()` which converts a QGIS vector layer—including geometry and attributes—into a `GeoPandas.GeoDataFrame`.

Added new PyQGIS methods to convert QgsGeometry instances to NumPy arrays and Shapely geometry objects, enabling seamless use of scientific Python libraries while keeping them as optional dependencies.

Implemented a PyQGIS helper to convert QgsRasterBlock data into NumPy masked arrays, enabling efficient raster analysis and no-data handling in Python scripts.

Introduced a new setting so that when a project is opened in QGIS, the map canvas can automatically zoom to a user-defined preset full-extent (instead of the extent implied by all layers).

Enhanced the QGIS message log so that new messages trigger an icon notification on the appropriate tab instead of automatically switching focus, improving user workflow and reducing context switching.

Enhanced the Trends.Earth QGIS plugin by implementing interactive sub-indicator selection workflow for Land Productivity Dynamics (LPD). Improved user experience by adding functionality to select individual sub-indicators for advanced land degradation analysis.

Enhanced openrouteservice routing engine by adding support for 'access=permit' as a recognized access restriction type, improving route calculations for areas with permit-based access controls.

Reorganized the plugin to make it more maintainable and give it a real, clear structure: classes were moved into dedicated modules, unused files removed, preset data separated into its own JSON file, and consistent linting/formatting applied to improve readability and future development.

Introduced full drag-and-drop support for route vertices in the ORSTools QGIS plugin, allowing users to interactively move, preview, and update routing nodes directly on the map canvas.

Integrated a new snapping endpoint into the ORSTools QGIS plugin, providing algorithms to snap points and layers to the nearest routable feature with configurable parameters and GUI help.

Set up unit and integration testing for the ORSTools QGIS plugin, including mock QGIS interfaces and CI workflows across multiple QGIS versions, improving code quality and reliability.
