Over a two-month period, contributed to projectdiscovery/utils and projectdiscovery/katana by developing utilities that enhance data serialization and processing reliability. Built the FilterStructToMap function to convert Go structs into maps while honoring JSON tags and field exclusions, later refactoring it to preserve field order using OrderedMap for deterministic output. Improved katana’s JSON output by adding CLI flags for field filtering and ensuring consistent key ordering in nested structures. Focused on Go programming, reflection, and data structure design, these changes streamlined downstream integration, improved test reliability, and promoted maintainable code through thoughtful refactoring and cross-repository collaboration without introducing new bugs.
September 2025 monthly summary focusing on feature-oriented delivery across two repos (katana and utils) that improves data integrity, serialization reliability, and downstream processing readiness. Key features include enhanced JSON output capabilities in katana with deterministic ordering, and preservation of field order in struct-to-map conversion in utils. No major bugs reported; work primarily consisted of features and refactors aimed at improving determinism and data quality. Overall impact includes more reliable data pipelines, easier integration with consuming services, and stronger Go engineering practices. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Go, OrderedMap usage, JSON formatting, CLI flag design, and cross-repo collaboration.

August 2025 monthly summary for projectdiscovery/utils: Key feature delivered: Added FilterStructToMap utility to convert struct fields into a map, respecting JSON tags (including omitempty) and field exclusion (json:"-"); Refactored FilterStruct to use an internal walkFilteredFields helper for better organization and reusability. No major bugs reported this month. Overall impact: improves data serialization workflows and reduces boilerplate, enabling downstream components to map configuration structs more reliably. Technologies/skills: Go, reflection and tag parsing, code refactoring, API-friendly utility design.
