Josh contributed to the cockroachdb/cockroach repository by developing a token-based CPU usage management system within the admission control layer. He designed and implemented the core logic for the CPU Time Token Granter, establishing a foundation for tiered quotas and burst handling using Go. Josh also created testing utilities to simulate timing variances, enhancing the realism and robustness of admission control tests. His work included building the cpuTimeTokenFiller component to periodically replenish token buckets, ensuring smooth CPU allocation under scheduling delays. Throughout, he demonstrated skills in concurrency, system design, and performance optimization, delivering well-structured, maintainable code with thoughtful test coverage.

2025-09: Implemented CPU Time Token Granter in admission control to start token-based CPU usage management. Delivered core granter logic and token bucket scaffolding for tiered quotas and burst handling, with future work planned on token refilling and rate computation. This establishes a foundation for improved CPU isolation and predictable performance. Key commit: 41ddf78bb908c4e13b261fd3e5a23dd16159f3fb.
