Over five months, Ben Sharp enhanced the folio-org/mod-fqm-manager and mod-lists repositories by delivering features that improved data export security, query flexibility, and system reliability. He implemented user-scoped privileged content exports, cross-tenant data aggregation, and granular access controls using Java, Spring Boot, and SQL. His work included optimizing database performance, expanding concurrency, and refining background task management to ensure stability under load. Ben also enriched data models with nested fields and broadened query capabilities for publication and holdings data. Through careful code refactoring, dependency updates, and robust integration testing, he maintained high standards of maintainability and release readiness.

August 2025: Focused on enriching data model and expanding query capabilities in folio-org/mod-fqm-manager. Key features delivered include nested call-number storage for items and holdings with dedicated fields and query exposure; added source_uri to the simple_instance entity and streamlined SRS joins for clearer mappings; broadened publication data queryability by supporting publication frequency and related subfields; enabled Former ID queryability across items and holdings to improve data retrieval; and added querying capabilities for holdings based on receiving history. No explicit major bugs fixed are documented in this data set; the work emphasizes reliability, searchability, and data enrichment.

December 2024: Delivered performance and reliability enhancements across the folio-org/mod-fqm-manager and updated dependencies for mod-lists. Key improvements include concurrency tuning (thread pool and connection pool sizing), safer query cancellation logic to ensure persistence, test Suite cleanliness, and dependency modernization. These changes reduce latency under high load, improve stability and maintainability, and lower risk from outdated dependencies.
