Andrew Salt focused on backend and API development for viamrobotics, delivering three features across the rdk and api repositories. He refactored the module reload command in Go to use a dedicated reload_path for hot-reloading, improving configuration safety and runtime reliability by preventing overwrites of execution_path. In the api repository, Andrew implemented registry item renaming and organization namespace updates, defining new Protocol Buffers messages and gRPC surfaces to ensure robust, forward-compatible API contracts. His work emphasized input validation, clear contract evolution, and maintainable code, demonstrating depth in Go, Protocol Buffers, and CLI development while addressing operational and configuration challenges.

April 2025 monthly performance summary for viamrobotics/api. Focused on delivering API enhancements that enable safer, scalable registry management and organizational namespace governance. Implemented two high-impact features with well-defined protobuf contracts and gRPC surfaces, setting the foundation for improved operational workflows and reduced manual overhead. No critical bugs reported; efforts centered on design, consistency, and forward-compatibility across API boundaries.

March 2025 - viamrobotics/rdk: Module Reload Robust Configuration Management and Hot-Reload. Delivered a refactor of the viam module reload command to correctly manage module configurations by using reload_path for hot-reloading rather than overwriting execution_path. This enhances stability when loading registry modules, enables reload_enabled, and updates paths as needed. The work reduces downtime during dynamic updates and improves configuration safety, contributing to more reliable runtime behavior across environments.
