Eliott Bouhana contributed to the DataDog/dd-trace-go repository, delivering 17 features and resolving critical bugs over four months. He focused on backend development and system integration, modernizing HTTP instrumentation and strengthening feature flag analytics. Using Go and YAML, Eliott upgraded core dependencies, improved CI/CD tooling, and enhanced remote configuration stability for the Datadog agent. His work included implementing AppSec route tracing, refactoring provider initialization for testability, and integrating orchestrion instrumentation. By addressing build reliability and optimizing exposure event handling, Eliott improved observability, security, and developer velocity. His contributions demonstrated depth in dependency management, concurrent programming, and robust testing practices.

November 2025: Delivered key features and stability improvements for dd-trace-go with measurable business impact. Focused on reliability, observability, and performance across core components, enabling faster troubleshooting and more robust Datadog agent behavior.

August 2025: Key work on DataDog/dd-trace-go focused on strengthening HTTP AppSec instrumentation and trace reliability, plus dependency hygiene to improve build stability. Delivered HTTP AppSec instrumentation with ServeMux integration, enabling reliable route data propagation and accurate request tracing across Go HTTP handlers, which improves security visibility and observability for customer services. Fixed build issues and ensured correct ServeHTTP flow, reducing integration friction. Removed a local replace directive to use the correct non-retracted DataDog Go module version, stabilizing builds. These efforts reduce mean time to troubleshoot and improve developer velocity for users of dd-trace-go.
