PROFILE
Sarah Proctor
Over three months, Sam Proctor enhanced the samvera/hyku repository by delivering targeted search, data governance, and stability improvements. Sam implemented per-collection visibility controls and advanced search filtering, using Ruby on Rails and Solr indexing to improve catalog relevance and administrative control. He refactored controlled vocabulary management for better object-oriented design and maintainability, and stabilized workflows by upgrading dependencies and addressing transaction failures. Sam also improved full-text search for attachments, mitigated batch upload incompatibilities, and reinforced configuration management using YAML and Ruby. The work demonstrated depth in backend development, dependency management, and testing, resulting in more reliable and maintainable code.

Sep 1, 2025Month 2025-09: Delivered targeted search and data quality improvements for samvera/hyku, improved stability, and reinforced OO design. Key outcomes include: enhanced catalog search with collection facet indexing in Solr and full-text search for plain text attachments; refactored vocabulary management from constants to methods for easier overrides; fixed nested collection queries by switching to POST to avoid GET limits; hardened CV field mappings to prevent crashes on empty queries; and mitigated batch_upload incompatibility by temporarily disabling the feature pending proper fixes. These changes reduce user friction, improve search accuracy, and increase maintainability while preserving release stability.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025: Delivered per-collection visibility control in Hyku to improve search relevance and governance. Implemented hide_from_catalog_search attribute with a UI checkbox on the collection edit form, plus filtering logic for Advanced Search (ActiveFedora and Valkyrie) and Solr indexing, with tests and translations to support admins in hiding collections from global search. Also stabilized the IIIF image printing workflow by upgrading iiif_print to ensure ConditionallyDestroyChildrenFromSplit reliably returns a FileSet, reducing transaction failures when destroying nested resources. These changes enhance data governance, search accuracy, and system reliability with tangible business value.
