PROFILE
Jesse Mckenna
Jesse McKenna developed advanced file I/O tracing capabilities for the google/perfetto repository, focusing on enhancing observability and performance analysis for Windows systems. He introduced protocol buffer definitions and integrated Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events into the tracing pipeline, enabling detailed capture of file system operations. Using C++, Python, and Protocol Buffers, Jesse extended the UI to display granular file I/O data, implemented IRP-based event matching for trace accuracy, and resolved macOS build issues by updating build configurations. His work delivered per-thread event visualization, improving trace clarity and maintainability, and laid the foundation for thread-aware performance diagnostics in Perfetto.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Delivered per-thread File I/O event rows in Perfetto. This enhancement improves thread-level visibility and clarity for performance analysis, enabling more precise bottleneck localization and faster debugging. Commit 8a7935b2fd07d902bef3ad7762fd2460dc5e13dc implements splitting file I/O events by thread, following the Add file I/O ETW events to Perfetto UI work and addressing reviewer feedback. Impact: clearer trace data for developers and operations, groundwork for thread-aware UI integration, and improved maintainability through focused changes.
