During a two-month period, Peng worked on the ray-project/deltacat repository, focusing on enhancing data lake scanning and integration capabilities. He developed a new ScanPlanner interface and implemented end-to-end Iceberg scan support, refactoring core components for improved modularity and testability. Using Python and leveraging distributed systems concepts, Peng added robust JSON deserialization for complex data models and addressed multithreaded I/O detection issues to ensure operator reliability. He also managed dependency upgrades, aligning Daft and Deltacat versions to maintain API stability and security. His work demonstrated depth in API design, serialization, and version management, contributing to release readiness and maintainability.

May 2025 monthly summary for ray-project/deltacat: Delivered a targeted dependency upgrade across the Delta Catalog codebase. Upgraded Daft from 0.4.11 to 0.4.13 and Deltacat from 2.0.0b7 to 2.0.0b9, including a corresponding __init__ bump to reflect the new Daft version. This work, captured in two commits: 961e6cde94c8199948ea6a983fee663fc9e71485 and 70fccf23199fa6e6ed73926dcf28effc394b91a2. Impact: aligns with latest analytics library capabilities and security patches, reduces dependency drift, and preserves API stability. Skills demonstrated: packaging, dependency management, semantic versioning, cross-repo coordination, and deployment hygiene.
