During June 2025, Ryan Jensen-Clem focused on API maintenance for the spacetelescope/catkit2 repository, delivering a targeted cleanup of the service API. He removed obsolete protobuf attributes from service.proto and eliminated the unused m_PropertyDataStreamLinks member from ServiceProxy.h, reducing the API surface area and simplifying future development. Working primarily with C++ and protobuf, Ryan applied clean code and refactoring principles to streamline the codebase, making the API clearer for downstream consumers and easing onboarding for new developers. This work did not introduce new user-facing features but improved long-term maintainability and reduced the risk of regressions in future releases.

June 2025 focused on API maintenance for spacetelescope/catkit2. Key delivery: Service API Cleanup removing obsolete protobuf attributes from service.proto and the unused m_PropertyDataStreamLinks from ServiceProxy.h, aimed at reducing API surface area and maintenance burden. No major user-facing feature or bug-fix releases this month; instead, these changes reduce API confusion and streamline future refactors. Impact includes improved API clarity for downstream consumers, easier onboarding, and lower risk of regressions in future releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated include protobuf schema cleanup, C++ header cleanup, and disciplined API design.
