Connor worked on modularizing Protocol Buffer definitions for ConsultingMD/dbt-core by externalizing protos into a shared library, which reduced internal dependencies and enabled cross-repository reuse. He updated the build and setup processes to support this new structure, focusing on Python development, dependency management, and protobuf. In influxdata/iceberg-rust, Connor developed OAuth token management APIs for the REST Catalog, implementing endpoints for token invalidation and regeneration, along with unit tests to validate authentication flows. His work enhanced the security and maintainability of authentication systems, demonstrating depth in backend development and a thoughtful approach to codebase modularity and operational reliability.
