PROFILE

Jochen Kühner

Worked on the linq2db/linq2db repository to enhance LINQ query reliability, sorting controls, and cross-provider query capabilities using C#, LINQ, and SQL. Delivered new features such as configurable sorting semantics and multi-provider query methods, while also addressing complex bugs like GUID handling in SQLite and translation issues with UnionAll and string member access. The technical approach emphasized robust test coverage, targeted refactoring, and regression prevention, improving the maintainability and correctness of the query generation pipeline. Collaborated across teams to refine fixes, expand test automation, and align backend support, resulting in safer, more predictable LINQ-to-SQL translation and database integration.

Month: 2026-04 — Linq2db project: Delivered a critical fix for UnionAll with string member access and strengthened translation pipeline across backends. Key work included fixing translation for Length and IsNullOrEmpty in UnionAll projections, adding tests, and refining the member translation path for unresolved projections. Also expanded test coverage for union-related edge cases (including Informix CHAR_LENGTH) and aligned backend support by disabling Sybase. These changes improve correctness, reliability, and maintainability of LINQ-to-SQL translation, enabling safer complex queries in production and reducing regression risk. Technologies demonstrated include C#, LINQ expression trees, SQL translation, test automation, and cross-team collaboration.

February 2026 — Linq2DB: Focused on robustness of the query optimizer. Implemented a targeted fix to prevent OrderBy + Distinct when ordering by an expression, added regression tests, and reinforced test coverage. These actions improved correctness, stability, and maintainability of the query generation layer.

August 2025 focused on strengthening LINQ query reliability and sorting controls in linq2db. Delivered targeted enhancements with robust test coverage for complex IEnumerable scenarios across providers and introduced explicit, configurable sorting semantics. Key improvements include a ConcatenateOrderBy option, a RemoveOrderBy operation to clear sorting, and the deprecation of DoNotClearOrderBys to simplify behavior. Refactoring of OrderBy handling improved consistency and maintainability across the codebase. These changes reduce intermittent errors, improve developer experience, and lay groundwork for safer provider extensions and future performance optimizations.
