PROFILE

Daniel Wagner-hall

Worked extensively on the bazel-central-registry repository to upgrade and integrate OpenSSL as a Bazel module, focusing on cross-platform compatibility and cryptographic hardening. Leveraged C++ and Perl scripting to automate code generation, streamline dependency management, and enhance build system configuration. Implemented platform-specific optimizations and comprehensive integration tests to ensure reliable builds across Linux, macOS, and Windows. Each upgrade aligned with the latest OpenSSL releases, improving security posture and build reproducibility for downstream consumers. The technical approach emphasized modularity, maintainability, and automated validation, resulting in a robust, secure, and easily upgradable cryptographic stack within the Bazel build ecosystem.
