PROFILE

Michal Kit

Worked on the corda/corda repository to enhance platform stability and future readiness by delivering two key features over two months. Developed forward-compatibility tests for NotarisationPayload, focusing on the transactionSignatures field to ensure robust deserialization and backward compatibility across releases. Extended the NotaryInfo data class in NetworkParameters.kt by adding a backward-compatible protocol field, laying the groundwork for protocol-aware notary metadata and future extensibility. Emphasized careful API design, serialization, and unit testing throughout, using Kotlin and Java to maintain code quality and minimize rollout risk. Prioritized change safety and compatibility, supporting seamless platform evolution without disrupting existing deployments.

October 2025 — corda/corda: Delivered NotaryInfo protocol field extension in NetworkParameters.kt, adding a new backward-compatible 'protocol' field with constructor and copy method. This groundwork enables protocol-aware notary metadata and future features (routing, auditing) without breaking existing deployments. No major bugs fixed this month. Business value: prepares the platform for protocol-level notary distinctions, reducing migration risk and enabling richer analytics. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Kotlin data classes, API compatibility strategies, and careful change management.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-09 focusing on corda/corda. Delivered forward-compatibility tests for NotarisationPayload regarding the transactionSignatures field, verifying deserialization with/without the new field to ensure backward compatibility across releases. This reduces rollout risk for changes to the notarisation payload.
