Markos Volikas

Worked on the apache/stormcrawler repository over three months, focusing on improving code hygiene, documentation, and developer experience. Addressed onboarding challenges by removing unused Java code from the archetype and updating Markdown-based READMEs to clarify project structure and execution modes, making it easier for new contributors to get started. Enhanced documentation tooling by updating Maven configurations to support Java 17 Javadoc parsing, ensuring compatibility with modern Java features and reducing build-time issues. Also improved reproducibility for Solr archetype users by guiding them toward stable Maven versions. Demonstrated a methodical approach to maintainability and onboarding through targeted Java and documentation updates.

November 2024 (apache/stormcrawler) focused on code hygiene and user-facing documentation improvements to reduce confusion, speed onboarding, and strengthen maintainability. Key changes include removing a dummy testing topology from the archetype to eliminate unused code, and updating project structure and execution guidance in READMEs to reflect current layout and provide clear instructions for local and distributed runs using crawler.flux. These changes lower support costs, improve developer velocity, and align the archetype with real-world usage.
