PROFILE

Randall S. Becker

Randall Becker focused on enhancing cross-platform reliability and build stability for NonStop systems in both the curl/curl and openssl/openssl repositories. He improved websocket client test timing and 64-bit data handling in curl by replacing sleep() with PROCESS_DELAY_() and updating type definitions, which reduced test flakiness and improved maintainability. In OpenSSL, Randall addressed platform-specific build issues by implementing conditional header inclusion and correcting OS header detection logic, ensuring accurate configuration and preventing build failures. His work leveraged C and Perl, emphasizing system programming and build systems, and resulted in more robust, portable code with minimal disruption to existing workflows.
