Worked on the kvcache-ai/Mooncake repository to enhance peer-to-peer networking reliability and flexibility. Developed a feature in Go and C++ that enables runtime discovery and sharing of the node’s actual IP and port during P2P handshakes, improving metadata accuracy and deployment in dynamic or containerized environments. Addressed startup failures by implementing nil-safe handling for TCP transport initialization, allowing the system to bootstrap even when topology information is missing. Leveraged backend development and network programming skills to strengthen handshake reliability, dynamic port management, and cross-language API integration, resulting in more robust peer discovery and resilient network initialization for distributed systems.
