Open Source Contributions

I believe in giving back to the community. Here are some of my contributions to open-source projects.

Added SparkApp Name Validator for DNS-1035 Format

Added early validation of SparkApplication metadata.name to ensure it conforms to DNS-1035 label requirements. This prevents applications with invalid names from being accepted and failing later when the controller attempts to create the web UI Service.

Problem Solved Stale resources in K8s cluster due to invalid names
Solution Webhook validation using Kubernetes' built-in validation
