Worked on the grpc/grpc repository to implement SECP384R1 (P-384) elliptic curve support in TLS key exchange groups, addressing compatibility issues with servers requiring this curve. Using C++ and gRPC, introduced the GRPC_TLS_GROUP_SECP384R1 option to allow explicit curve selection during TLS negotiations, which reduced handshake failures and improved interoperability across enterprise environments. The work focused on secure-by-default configuration and incident triage, aligning the codebase with widely adopted cryptographic standards. This targeted feature enhanced network security and reliability in cross-environment deployments, demonstrating a methodical approach to protocol extension and standards compliance within a complex, security-sensitive codebase.

June 2026: Implemented SECP384R1 (P-384) support in TLS key exchange groups for grpc/grpc, addressing handshake failures when servers require this curve. Added GRPC_TLS_GROUP_SECP384R1 to TLS options to enable explicit curve selection and improve compatibility with enterprise endpoints. This change reduces TLS handshake failures, enhances interoperability across environments, and strengthens security posture by aligning with widely adopted cryptographic standards. Demonstrated strong incident triage and secure-by-default configuration through a focused code change tied to issue #42135.
