Kathryn worked on the chalk-go repository, focusing on backend development to update and synchronize Protocol Buffer schemas across multiple services. Using Go and gRPC, she introduced new protobuf message types to support enhanced data handling, query execution, integrations, deployments, and environment secrets. Her work established schema consistency and laid the technical foundation for future data ingestion and query features by aligning cross-service definitions. Although the scope was limited to one feature over a month, Kathryn’s contributions addressed core infrastructure needs, enabling improved data workflows and integration management. The updates positioned the system for more robust deployment and observability capabilities.
