Arnav Bhattacharjee contributed to the IBM/velox repository by developing three backend features over two months, focusing on Spark SQL interoperability and mathematical function support. He implemented a Spark factorial function in C++ using a lookup table for integers 0–20, returning bigint results and handling out-of-range inputs with NULL, which expanded Spark’s math capabilities through Velox. In subsequent work, Arnav added LeftSemiProjectJoin support to the nested loop join, updating output schema and match flag logic, and introduced boolean-to-timestamp casting for Spark SQL. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, data engineering, and SQL query optimization, with thorough documentation 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.
