Kang Kaisen contributed backend and build system enhancements to the crossoverJie/starrocks repository, focusing on cross-platform development and macOS compatibility. Over two months, Kang enabled Apple Silicon support by updating CMake build scripts, introducing macOS-specific tooling, and refining dependency management for third-party libraries such as protobuf and LevelDB. He improved runtime observability by extending query state outputs and strengthened auditability by ensuring submitter IPs were logged for compliance. Using C++, CMake, and shell scripting, Kang’s work reduced build failures, streamlined developer onboarding for Mac users, and improved CI reliability, demonstrating a thorough approach to platform enablement and backend maintainability.

October 2025 (2025-10) monthly summary for crossoverJie/starrocks: Delivered comprehensive MacOS compatibility and Apple Silicon support for the StarRocks backend, consolidating cross‑platform readiness and developer productivity. Key work included a full suite of macOS build system enablement: updates to CMakeLists.txt, build scripts (including build_be.sh), and cross‑platform tooling to streamline macOS builds. Established macOS‑specific shims and platform tweaks for third‑party dependencies (protobuf, LevelDB, RocksDB/VectorScan, bitshuffle) to ensure stable compilation and runtime on Apple Silicon. Impact: Significantly reduced macOS build failures, accelerated local development for macOS developers, and improved CI reliability. The work directly enables faster feature delivery and easier onboarding for Mac users contributing to StarRocks. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CMake, macOS build tooling and scripting, shell scripting, cross‑platform build system design, protobuf/LevelDB/RocksDB integration, VectorScan optimizations, bitshuffle shims, and macOS frontend/backend script improvements.
