Zhijun worked extensively on the apache/iceberg-cpp repository, building core data structures, serialization layers, and robust error handling to support reliable data pipelines and downstream integration. Leveraging C++ and CMake, Zhijun introduced features such as Arrow-based metadata I/O, Avro serialization, and 128-bit decimal types, while modernizing build systems and CI workflows for faster feedback and maintainability. The work included integrating GoogleTest for unit testing, optimizing schema parsing with std::from_chars, and implementing UUID utilities. Through careful refactoring, dependency management, and performance tuning, Zhijun delivered production-ready code that improved type safety, build reliability, and data format interoperability across the project.

March 2025: Apache Iceberg C++ library stability improvements. No new features released this month; primary work focused on stabilizing builds through a critical bug fix in the exception handling module. The fix adds iceberg_export.h to ensure proper symbol export, addressing symbol visibility and linkage issues across platforms. Business value: fixes to build and runtime linkage reduce integration risk for downstream users and CI pipelines, enabling reliable distribution and usage of the Iceberg C++ library. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ header exports, symbol visibility controls, cross-platform build hygiene, and careful integration of header-level changes across module boundaries.
