Worked on the Azure/azure-sdk-for-cpp repository to enhance network performance by implementing SSL session caching for the libcurl transport layer. Focused on optimizing TLS handshakes, the developer introduced an EnableCurlSslCaching option, allowing HTTP transports to reuse SSL sessions and thereby reduce handshake overhead. This feature was developed using C++ and leveraged network programming and performance optimization skills, with comprehensive unit tests ensuring reliability and maintainability. The changelog was updated to document these improvements, which benefit downstream applications by improving startup latency and sustained throughput. The work demonstrated a methodical approach to runtime efficiency and robust feature integration within the SDK.
