PROFILE

Karen Chen

Worked on the azure-sdk-for-go repository to deliver advanced tracing enhancements and reliability improvements over a two-month period. Developed new tracing capabilities in Go, integrating custom and OpenTelemetry propagators, enabling span links with attributes, and updating the StartSpan API to improve traceability and observability across the SDK. Introduced an internal Span Validator utility to strengthen unit testing for tracing features, accompanied by comprehensive documentation and a beta version update. Additionally, addressed a critical bug in error type reporting within azcore/runtime, refining error handling and ensuring accurate error categorization for downstream services. Focused on API design, distributed tracing, and robust unit testing.
