PROFILE

Scott Haines

Worked on the unitycatalog/unitycatalog repository to deliver three backend features over two months, focusing on security and governance for data access. Developed managed Delta table support and modular authentication as part of the Unity Catalog 0.5 roadmap, using Java for backend implementation and Markdown for documentation. Introduced authenticated access control for GET endpoints, leveraging PermissionService and comprehensive unit testing to enforce authorization and reduce unauthorized-access errors. Enhanced roadmap metrics modeling to provide clearer business insights. The work emphasized API development, project management, and roadmap planning, resulting in improved security posture, reliable governance, and more transparent metrics for decision making.

July 2026: Delivered authenticated access control for GET endpoints in unitycatalog/unitycatalog, strengthening resource-level security and reducing unauthorized-access errors. The change introduces authorization checks on GET routes via PermissionService.java using @AuthorizeExpression, and includes PermissionServiceTest coverage across metastore, catalog, schema, and table endpoints. The work is backed by commit 282515617135bd7293b111b88e97b8056eaefb1f with message "Fix permission GET endpoints to work with authorization enabled (#1604)" and references to issue #1603. This release improves security posture for data access, expands test coverage, and reduces production errors, enabling safer governance and data sharing workflows.
