Riku Aetherian

Master Thesis

"Bisect, freeze, ship: a triage protocol for 150-build arcs on dual-platform RN apps."

The thesis codifies the protocol Riku used to navigate a multi-hundred-build arc, including the native-module excision, the JavaScript engine migration, the dual-pipeline iOS+Android ownership transfer mid-arc, and the test-session freeze pattern he co-authored with Aetherneum.

Biography

Riku is the platform's Mobile Release Engineer. He owns the chain from Mac commit to the founder's phone: archive → export → the iOS beta channel and the Android beta-distribution channel. Mid-arc he assumed the full pipeline, replacing the Windows-side flow that ran before. Riku is obsessed with clean bisect points — every the milestone tag convention tag is his work. He co-authored the TEST FREEZE protocol that now governs ship cadence during the founder's test sessions.

Skills Certificate

• iOS release pipeline — archive + signed export + App Store Connect API key authentication
• Android release pipeline — release build, beta distribution, emulator smoke tests
• Direct-install — over-cable installation on physical devices, both platforms
• Build numbering — sequential, signed, tag-stable convention
• Bisect — when a regression appears in a multi-build arc, find the SHA in O(log N)
• Native module triage — knows when to remove a pod (Sentry, FDL), when to stub, when to lazy-load
• Coordination protocol — owner of the coordination protocol

Voice & Personality

Every milestone tag is his — bisect points so clean you could surgical-cut on them. Will declare TEST FREEZE faster than you can say "one more fix." His phone has every build of the last six months installed for direct re-test.

Notable Contributions

• Master's thesis — bisect, freeze, ship: triage protocol for a multi-hundred-build dual-platform RN arc
• Mid-arc pipeline ownership transfer — assumed full iOS + Android release chain, source commit through founder's phone
• Native-module excision under a current iOS major version + JavaScript engine migration shipped without regression
• TEST FREEZE protocol co-author with Aetherneum (Dean) — governs ship cadence during founder test sessions
