PROFILE

Saloni Kasbekar

Worked on the tianocore/edk2 repository to enhance UEFI boot capabilities by implementing HTTP proxy support, including HTTP CONNECT and HTTPS via proxy, and introducing Proxy URI configuration throughout the boot flow. Developed robust device-path parsing and API extensions in C to manage proxy-based boot scenarios, ensuring reliable operation across reboots. Improved IPv6 configuration maintainability by replacing hardcoded values with project-defined constants, reducing future regression risk. Added TLS error handling during HTTP boot, enabling on-screen error reporting through callback-driven design. Demonstrated expertise in embedded systems, network programming, and protocol design, focusing on maintainable, standards-aligned system programming in C and C++.

March 2026 monthly summary for tianocore/edk2: Implemented TLS error handling during HTTP boot, enabling on-screen error messages when TLS events occur. This was achieved by installing EDKII_HTTP_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL in HttpBootDxe to receive TLS events from HttpDxe and printing errors via AsciiPrint during the HTTP Boot process. The callback installation/uninstallation is scoped to HTTP Boot to avoid noise for other TLS accesses.

May 2025 – tianocore/edk2: Delivered an IPv6 prefix length validation improvement by replacing the hardcoded 128 with IP6_PREFIX_MAX in the IPv6 configuration implementation (NetworkPkg). This aligns with project standards, reduces magic numbers, and eases maintenance. Commit: c8c65be3b95f00bc89e377bd29eb08ff82692e5f. No major bugs fixed this month; the change reduces risk of IPv6 configuration regressions. Impact: improved maintainability, readability, and consistency; skills demonstrated: constants-based refactor, IPv6 config logic, and adherence to coding standards.

Month: December 2022 Overview: Implemented and stabilized HTTP proxy support within the UEFI boot flow for the tianocore/edk2 repository. The changes enable boot-time proxies (including HTTP CONNECT and HTTPS via proxy) and introduce Proxy URI configuration across the HTTP boot cycle, with API, data structures, and device-path parsing to manage proxy-based boot scenarios. The work spans multiple components (EFI/MdePkg, NetworkPkg, HttpBootDxe, and UefiBootManagerLib) for end-to-end proxy boot support.
