PROFILE

Samuel Cox

Worked on openrewrite/rewrite-apache, openrewrite/rewrite, and openrewrite/rewrite-spring repositories to deliver targeted upgrades and modernization. Developed a recursive package renaming feature and migration tests for Apache Commons Collections upgrades, using Java and YAML to improve migration reliability and reduce upgrade risk. Addressed Maven build correctness in openrewrite/rewrite by refining profile activation logic, ensuring explicit and default profiles are handled predictably. In openrewrite/rewrite-spring, refactored Spring Batch configurations to remove deprecated StepBuilderFactory usage, injecting JobRepository for better compatibility with newer Spring Boot versions. Demonstrated skills in Java development, code refactoring, Maven build tools, and robust test-driven engineering practices.
