October 2025: Delivered the Avro Language Extension for the Zed Editor in the zed-industries/extensions repo. Implemented via a new apache-avro submodule, wired through extensions.toml, and aligned with Git submodules to enable Avro parsing (tree-sitter-based) in the editor. The work enhances data tooling by providing native Avro syntax support, improving developer productivity and reducing debugging time when working with Avro schemas in data pipelines. All changes are traceable to commit 77cc014e8ff5a2cdba3931aa4b546bd42c379b39.
