PROFILE

Lindsey Cheng

Worked on the edgexfoundry/edgex-go repository, delivering features and fixes across backend, security, and data management domains. Built APIs for security proxy authentication and key management, implemented PostgreSQL as the default database, and introduced configuration-driven data optimization. Enhanced system stability by refactoring core data layers, improving error handling, and optimizing SQL queries for device profiles and key retrieval. Used Go, SQL, and YAML to manage database migrations, access control, and secret management. Focused on scalable, maintainable solutions, the work improved deployment reliability, reduced operational risk, and enabled more efficient data aggregation, analytics, and secure connectivity for EdgeX deployments.
