During January 2026, contributed a focused refactor to the apache/stormcrawler repository, targeting the SQL module to enhance performance, readability, and testability. Leveraging Java and SQL, reworked the SQLSpout and IndexerBolt components to use PreparedStatement, which improved resource management and code clarity. Expanded unit testing coverage for SQLSpout and StatusUpdaterBolt, and introduced a standardized test infrastructure using AbstractSQLTest with a shared MySQL container to reduce test flakiness and ensure reliable integration testing. Collaborated with cross-team contributors to update dependencies, address resource cleanup, and raise the baseline for ongoing code quality, emphasizing robust software development and unit testing practices.
