OpenTelemetry Kotlin
I contribute to the OpenTelemetry Kotlin Multiplatform SDK, working on error handling, regression coverage, and exporter configuration. What I enjoy most is learning how to make changes safely in a codebase used by other developers.
Technical breakdown
Error handling in a multiplatform SDKMy first contribution focused on issue #711 in the Kotlin Multiplatform SDK. In an SDK, handling a failure is part of the public behavior: an error must not unexpectedly disrupt the application using the library. The work involved locating the relevant failure path in an unfamiliar codebase, making a targeted change, and adding regression coverage.
Why tests matter hereThe SDK is used across Kotlin targets, so a test should protect the observable behavior, not depend on one internal implementation. I also worked on ConsoleExporter configuration, where configuration changes need to fit the SDK's existing conventions.
What to inspectMy pull requests provide the code changes and review discussion. They are better evidence of my decisions than a general description of open-source work.
