Worked on the tianocore/edk2 repository to implement conditional Write Caching and Force Unit Access (FUA) support in the SCSI Disk Driver, targeting improved storage performance and reliability across diverse platforms. The approach involved adding runtime capability checks for FUA and Write Cache Enable (WCE), ensuring that FUA commands were only issued to compatible storage devices. This prevented boot-time issues observed in Windows Server 2025 guest environments and reduced the risk of data loss. The work leveraged C programming, SCSI protocol expertise, and system programming skills, maintaining traceability across multiple packages and considering continuous integration requirements throughout development.

April 2026 — tianocore/edk2: Implemented conditional Write Caching and FUA support for the SCSI Disk Driver to improve storage performance and reliability across diverse storage platforms. Added runtime capability checks for FUA/WCE and conditional FUA application to prevent incompatibilities with non-FUA storages, addressing boot-time issues seen in Windows Server 2025 guest scenarios.
