Worked on stability and upgrade reliability for the aws/aws-toolkit-jetbrains and aws/aws-toolkit-vscode repositories, focusing on resolving critical bugs. Addressed deserialization errors in the JetBrains toolkit by implementing a patching mechanism and updating build configurations to handle missing classPath entries in product-info.json during upgrades to version 2026.1. In the VS Code toolkit, fixed Kiro path discovery issues on macOS, merging the release candidate and updating the toolkit version to support a stable release. Applied skills in Kotlin, JavaScript, and Gradle, with an emphasis on plugin development, build automation, and cross-platform compatibility improvements within continuous integration workflows.
April 2026: Key upgrades across JetBrains and VS Code Toolkits. Implemented gateway plugin compatibility patch for 2026.1 in aws-toolkit-jetbrains to fix deserialization errors due to missing classPath entries; patched mechanism added and build config updated. Fixed Kiro path discovery on macOS in aws-toolkit-vscode, including a release merge and version update as part of progressing to a stable RC (rc-20260429). These changes improve upgrade reliability, reduce runtime errors, and accelerate time-to-value for users. Technologies applied include patch development, build configuration adjustments, macOS path handling, release engineering and versioning, and CI integration.
