Worked on the citusdata/citus repository, focusing on backend stability and memory safety in distributed PostgreSQL systems using C. Addressed stack-use-after-scope vulnerabilities in background job processing and the distributed planner, improving security and preventing crashes. Enhanced schema evolution reliability by fixing memory corruption risks during downgrade and upgrade cycles, introducing dynamic attribute counting and robust handling of dropped columns. Improved correctness in multi-tenant workloads by implementing an overflow guard for bit-shift operations in tenant score calculations. Demonstrated expertise in debugging, database internals, and memory management, consistently delivering targeted bug fixes that strengthened production resilience without altering public APIs.
September 2025 (citusdata/citus): Implemented an overflow guard for bit-shift operations in Tenant Score calculation to prevent undefined behavior, validating the shift size against the score field width and resetting the score to zero if overflow would occur. This improves correctness and robustness of tenant score computation under multi-tenant workloads without API changes.

August 2025: Focused on stability of Citus schema evolution. Fixed a memory corruption risk when downgrades are followed by upgrades, by introducing dynamic attribute counting for pg_dist_partition and proper handling of dropped columns during schema changes. The fix prevents crashes, improving upgrade/downgrade reliability and overall system resilience in production.
