M Kelly

Worked on the HPCC-Platform repository, focusing on system reliability, memory management, and code quality over five months. Delivered a new feature enabling jemalloc as a configurable memory allocator, improving performance and stability for large-scale deployments. Addressed five critical bugs, including fixes for deployment cleanup, configuration handling, resource leaks, and cache offset calculations, each enhancing platform robustness and data integrity. Applied C++, CMake, and Shell scripting to implement safe error handling, static analysis compliance, and optimized cache management. The work emphasized maintainability and production readiness, with careful attention to deployment safety, memory profiling, and adherence to HPCC coding standards throughout.
