Worked on the facebook/rocksdb repository to enhance reliability and data safety by addressing two critical bugs in the write-ahead log (WAL) and cleanup workflows. Focused on backend development using C++ and multithreading, the work involved correcting condition-variable signaling in FindObsoleteFiles to prevent potential deadlocks in DB::GetSortedWalFiles, and fixing unsigned underflow in WAL TTL logic to avoid erroneous log deletions when the system clock moved backward. Both fixes were validated with targeted unit tests and integrated through a code-review-driven process, resulting in improved uptime, reduced operational risk, and greater resilience in time-based database maintenance operations.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Focused on reliability and safety in RocksDB with two high-impact fixes in WAL/cleanup paths. Delivered changes that prevent a potential hang in DB::GetSortedWalFiles() by correcting the condition-variable signaling in FindObsoleteFiles(), and safeguarded against erroneous WAL deletions when the system clock moves backward by fixing unsigned underflow in WAL TTL logic. These fixes, along with unit tests and code-review-driven quality, improved uptime, reduced operational risk, and preserved data integrity in time-based cleanup workflows. Technologies demonstrated include concurrency control (CV signaling), timestamp arithmetic, unit testing, PR workflow, and C++ codebase expertise. Business value: improved uptime, data safety, and operational resilience.
