PROFILE

Ilhan Raja

Over a two-month period, this developer focused on enhancing kernel extension support within the bazelbuild/rules_apple and bazelbuild/apple_support repositories. They introduced new Bazel rules enabling iOS kernel extension builds for Virtualization.framework and Private Cloud Compute iOS VMs, while optimizing build hygiene and entitlements handling to ensure compatibility across iOS and macOS environments. Their work included removing unnecessary Objective-C and kernel module dependencies, improving linking correctness to exclude UIKit and Foundation, and enabling builds without provisioning profiles. Utilizing C++, YAML, and Starlark, they strengthened test coverage and cross-repo consistency, reducing build errors and streamlining kernel extension development workflows for CI stability.
