PROFILE
Joseph Gette
Worked on modernizing and streamlining the DataDog/datadog-agent repository by delivering fourteen features and resolving critical bugs over five months. Focused on Bazel-based build automation, cross-platform packaging, and dependency management, the work unified ODBC driver packaging, improved OpenSSL integration for both Windows and macOS, and enhanced CI/CD reliability. Leveraged technologies such as Bazel, Go, and Python to consolidate build recipes, migrate dependencies to S3, and introduce quality gates for artifact size monitoring. Efforts included stabilizing containerized tests, refining static quality metrics, and simplifying architectural components, resulting in more reliable builds, smaller artifacts, and improved developer experience across platforms.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: DataDog/datadog-agent feature delivery focused on unifying ODBC driver packaging and dependency management using Bazel, with a streamlined build/install flow for msodbcsql18 and unixodbc. The work improves build reliability, artifact size, and deployment consistency by consolidating packaging into a single Bazel-based recipe, slimming artifacts with libarchive, and moving external dependencies to S3. Quality gate coverage was expanded to include size-change metrics to prevent regressions.
