John Stultz

Worked on the google/perfetto repository to enhance observability and debugging of timer-related issues in complex systems. Developed new ftrace events for high-resolution timer (hrtimer) expirations and improved the ftrace parser to preserve function names in timer expiration events, enabling more accurate trace analysis. Introduced an HRTimer track in the user interface, allowing developers to visualize timer expirations directly within the UI. The work leveraged C++ and Protocol Buffers, with a focus on system programming and performance analysis. These changes provided deeper insight into timer behavior, supporting more efficient debugging and analysis of timing issues in large-scale system traces.
