Kiel Friedt developed and documented advanced benchmarking and performance tuning workflows for MongoDB and cloud networking within the madeline-underwood/arm-learning-paths repository. Over three months, Kiel delivered a reproducible ARM benchmarking process for MongoDB 8.0 using Bash and Markdown, enhanced Linux installation guides, and created a comprehensive learning path for setting up and testing 3-node MongoDB replica sets with YCSB. Additionally, Kiel authored an IRQ Tuning Guide to help engineers optimize cloud network performance, providing scripts and practical documentation for Linux environments. The work demonstrated depth in system administration, database management, and performance testing, supporting scalable and repeatable engineering practices.

September 2025 performance-focused update: Delivered a new IRQ Tuning Guide for Cloud Network Performance within the madeline-underwood/arm-learning-paths repository. This enhances engineers’ ability to diagnose and optimize IRQ-related bottlenecks in cloud environments, accelerating performance validation and cloud-ready tuning practices.
