Worked on the open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib repository to deprecate the Stackdriver exporter and migrate the codebase to the OTLP protocol, focusing on long-term maintainability and interoperability for downstream users. The approach involved updating dependencies, aligning Google Cloud library versions, and marking exporter classes as obsolete using C# attributes to guide users toward the new standard. Provided clear migration guidance to facilitate a smooth transition for existing users. Leveraged skills in API development, code deprecation, and dependency management to ensure the repository’s exporter components remained up to date and compatible with evolving telemetry pipelines, reducing risk and technical debt for future development.
