Worked on the HashiCorp Nomad Autoscaler, focusing on backend development and system reliability. Addressed a critical concurrency issue by fixing a race condition between worker and policy handler goroutines, which previously caused hangs during scaling workflows. The solution involved buffering the cooldown channel, ensuring that workers no longer block even when cooldown periods are extended. This change, implemented in Go, improved the autoscaler's responsiveness and reduced the risk of outages under peak load. Demonstrated strong debugging and concurrency skills while enhancing operational confidence for operators managing scale events. All work was contributed to the hashicorp/nomad-autoscaler repository.
