Worked on the apache/calcite project, delivering core enhancements to SQL query planning and optimization over five months. Focused on backend development and compiler design, this work included refactoring the SqlToRelConverter to leverage RelBuilder for more maintainable relational algebra transformations and implementing null-safe logic for EXISTS subqueries. Addressed correctness in scalar aggregates and improved subquery validation, ensuring reliable query semantics and stable analytics workloads. Used Java and SQL extensively, with attention to database internals and regression testing. Contributions also included documentation updates and metadata handling, resulting in improved code quality, maintainability, and data integrity for complex query scenarios.
June 2025: Delivered a critical correctness fix in Calcite RelDecorrelator for scalar aggregates. Implemented rewriteScalarAggregate to correctly handle correlated subqueries and empty inputs, ensuring accurate COUNT results and stable query plan generation. Result: increased reliability and data integrity for analytics workloads; reduced BI risk due to incorrect counts. Technologies demonstrated include Java, query planning, relational algebra rewrites, and regression testing; strong emphasis on maintainable code changes and CI validation.

In May 2025, focused on correctness of NULL handling in EXISTS subqueries with OR conditions. Implemented null-safe comparisons using IS NOT DISTINCT FROM and added tests to cover edge cases involving NULL columns. This work fixes incorrect results and strengthens regression protection in apache/calcite, delivering more reliable query semantics and improved stability for users relying on EXISTS subqueries.

February 2025: Delivered critical correctness and stability improvements in Calcite's optimizer, resolved key SQL generation issues, and expanded the contributor roster. Focused on enhancing subquery decorrelation, correcting join-condition rewrites, and ensuring UNION-related alias correctness, while also acknowledging community contributions.

November 2024: Delivered two high-impact changes for the apache/calcite project that strengthen the query planning stack and code quality. 1) Refactored SqlToRelConverter to build Union expressions with RelBuilder, simplifying code and leveraging RelBuilder capabilities; tests updated. 2) Fixed VolcanoPlanner predicate propagation by avoiding nulls from RelMdPredicates and using mq.getPulledUpPredicates(r.stripped()), ensuring rules fire reliably; tests updated. These changes reduce the risk of incorrect optimizations, improve planning stability, and demonstrate expertise in RelBuilder, VolcanoPlanner internals, and test-driven development.
