PROFILE

Phillip Smith

Worked on the Expensify/Bedrock repository, focusing on backend reliability and deployment stability over a three-month period. Addressed critical issues in the CI/CD pipeline by reverting changes to the Bedrock binary download and build process, restoring previous workflows to reduce deployment risk. Improved network programming aspects by enhancing HTTPS proxy connection reliability and strengthening server termination handling, using C++ and socket programming to reduce TLS errors and improve observability. Further refined server behavior by correcting HTTP response handling during backup and detached states, ensuring clients received accurate status messages. Utilized C++, Bash, and GitHub Actions to deliver robust, production-aligned fixes.
