Over a two-month period, contributed to the rapid7/iceberg repository by developing and modernizing the Flink RowConverter integration for streaming data ingestion. Focused on enhancing the Flink-Iceberg connector, first by implementing a new RowConverter to enable efficient direct conversion of Iceberg data to Flink Row types, with comprehensive tests across data formats and table configurations to ensure reliability. Subsequently, replaced the legacy converter with a stream-based approach using ExternalTypeInfo, improving compatibility and potential performance with newer Flink versions. The work demonstrated strong data engineering skills and deep expertise in Java, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg within a production codebase.
