January 2026 monthly summary for google/oss-fuzz: Delivered Fuzz Testing Infrastructure Stabilization by replacing HTTPretty with a lightweight server in a separate thread to support fuzz testing in urllib3. This fixed a long-standing issue with fuzz_requests that persisted for over a year due to HTTPretty incompatibilities. The change, implemented in commit 695943e09c263525e7e6468c5eac464118cac98e, also established me as the primary contact for urllib3 within the OSS-Fuzz project. Overall, the work restored a stable fuzzing pipeline, improved feedback cadence, and reduced external dependency risk, showcasing proficiency in Python threading, simple server design, and fuzz testing workflows, and reinforcing cross-project collaboration.

July 2025 CPython monthly summary: Delivered a kernel TLS-accelerated path for SSL file transfers by introducing SSL_sendfile usage when available, leveraging kernel offload to improve secure transfer throughput.
