Over a two-month period, contributed to the JetBrains/intellij-community repository by designing and implementing a modular consent management system focused on GDPR compliance and data privacy. Developed reusable UI components in Java and Kotlin to group and manage multiple data collection consents, introducing flexible onboarding flows and regional policy handling. The work included overhauling the TRACE consent framework, removing legacy components, and integrating with plugin governance systems to support enterprise-ready privacy controls. Enhanced user experience through improved UI presentation, consent state management, and localization, while strengthening observability and maintainability with added instrumentation and comprehensive testing for robust data privacy management.
September 2025 — JetBrains/intellij-community: Delivered a GDPR-aligned overhaul of the TRACE consent framework with a new modular consent system, removal of legacy TraceDataSharingActivity, and regional handling (China). Implemented a two-tier consent model (non-commercial vs others), UI/refactor improvements for readability, and enhanced consent state management and data-sharing controls. Strengthened governance by aligning TRACE with IDES, integrating with LLMDataSharingManager, and refining plugin filtering and Settings visibility (including showing/hiding outdated consents and enabling AI data-sharing controls). Result: reduced regulatory risk, clearer user choice, and safer AI data sharing configurations with enterprise-ready controls and observability.
