Over a two-month period, contributed three backend features to the IBM/velox repository, focusing on Spark SQL interoperability and mathematical function support. Developed a Spark factorial function in C++ for Velox, using a lookup table to efficiently compute factorials for integers 0–20 and returning bigints or NULL for out-of-range values. Enhanced join processing by adding LeftSemiProjectJoin support to the nested loop join implementation, updating output schema and match flag logic. Further improved SQL compatibility by implementing boolean-to-timestamp casting in Spark SQL pipelines. Work emphasized backend development, data engineering, and SQL query optimization, with thorough documentation and integration throughout.
May 2025 monthly summary for IBM/velox. Focused on delivering two high-impact features that improve correctness and Spark SQL interoperability under the Velox engine, with clear business value for analytics workloads.

April 2025: Delivered a new Spark factorial function in the Velox library, enabling factorial computations in Spark via Velox. Implemented a 0–20 factorial using a lookup table; results are returned as bigints and NULL for out-of-range inputs. This enhances Spark math workloads, improves end-user capabilities, and integrates cleanly with existing Velox functionality.
