## Evidence
I discussed about how to ensure that pallet MQ message processing is transactional and I also implemented the enforcement of transactional processing to [Pallet MQ message processing](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5198).

I also had to refactor what I did before when I introduced a new extrinsic for full unbonding in pallet staking, but it was later advised that instead of introducing a new extrinsic, it will make sense
to actually support chilling first when a user calls unbond to unbond all amount staked. You can find details of the implementation [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3811).

I added a new invariant [try state check](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5465) in the nomination-pools pallet for checking that a pool's point can never be lower than the stake in the same pool.

I implemented a different way of constructing [genesis config values](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/pull/451) for all runtimes, how it was previously done is by using json, this newer implementation made use of
the `RuntimeGenesisConfig` instead.

I also included [events to be emitted](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4613) for voting and removal of vote in conviction pallet.

I also worked on invariants try state checks for the [membership pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5850).

I am currently working on adding various invariant [try state checks for the democracy pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5879).

I believe my contributions to the Polkadot ecosystem this past reporting period has been vital and are in cognisance to what the Technical Fellowship upholds for a Rank I member. 
I am also thankful and grateful to the insights and counsel given me by the higher ranks and co-rank member of the Fellowship which has enabled me to be active and being a member of the Fellowship.
