Alexis King

Worked on the slick/slick repository to enhance database query locking for improved data consistency during concurrent access. Developed and integrated the .forShare method into the Query API, enabling support for SELECT ... FOR SHARE statements, and refactored the existing .forUpdate feature into a unified .locking mechanism. Updated database profiles to accommodate the new locking capabilities and expanded test coverage with LockingClauseTest to validate both .forUpdate and .forShare functionality. Utilized Scala, Java, and SQL to deliver maintainable backend code, resulting in safer read and write patterns with minimal application changes and increased reliability for concurrent database workloads.
