Heshan Andrews
Over a two-month period, contributed to smithy-lang/smithy-java by designing and implementing a custom validation rules interface and an extensible core framework for schema validation. Focused on backend development and Java, the work introduced pluggable validation logic, enabling more flexible and maintainable model validation. The technical approach included API redesign, code refactoring, and the addition of new custom constraints such as AlwaysFailsConstraint and StringOnlyConstraint, with expanded support for non-primitive shapes. Emphasis was placed on performance optimizations, improved documentation, and comprehensive unit testing, resulting in a more robust validation process and a better developer experience for future schema evolution.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026: Implemented Custom Validation Rules Interface in smithy-lang/smithy-java and integrated with the existing validation framework to enable extensible, rule-based validation across models. This includes adding the interface and wiring into the validator lifecycle (commit 38333f503cea58a09153b073820b778315f41f6a). No major bugs fixed this month; work focused on design, integration, and setting up future rule implementations. Business value: faster adaptation to changing validation requirements and improved maintainability.
