PROFILE
Akash Goswami
Worked on the snyk/broker repository, delivering backend and infrastructure improvements focused on reliability, security, and maintainability. Over five months, addressed dependency management by enforcing sub-dependency versions and reducing Docker image size to minimize vulnerabilities. Enhanced network resilience by implementing TCP connection retry logic and improved observability with request ID logging for better error tracking. Upgraded key dependencies such as dotenv and Axios to maintain compatibility and patch security issues. Used JavaScript, TypeScript, and Docker to implement robust error handling, asynchronous programming, and comprehensive testing, resulting in more stable deployments and streamlined developer workflows across diverse Linux-based environments.

Apr 1, 2026In April 2026, delivered robust broker network reliability improvements for snyk/broker. Implemented a TCP connection retry mechanism with configurable delay and handling of specific retryable error codes; extended retry coverage to POST requests by including ETIMEDOUT in retryable codes; updated tests to cover timeout retry scenarios, increasing confidence in failure modes. These changes improve resilience of broker communications during intermittent network issues and reduce request loss, supporting higher uptime for broker services.
