Worked on improving the reliability of Avro schema registration within the Apicurio/apicurio-registry Maven plugin, focusing on resolving a bug that caused referenced schemas to be registered under incorrect group IDs. Addressed this by introducing the ReferenceArtifactIdentifierExtractor, which accurately parses group and artifact identifiers from schema references to ensure proper registration. Leveraged Java for plugin development and applied expertise in API development, Avro, and schema registry management. These changes enhanced the consistency of cross-referenced Avro schemas in Maven-based workflows, reduced misregistrations, and lowered maintenance overhead for downstream services dependent on accurate schema governance and compatibility within the registry.
