Joyce Kong enhanced latency alerting for SmartStack in the Yelp/paasta repository by extending the monitoring schema and refining how latency metrics are represented. She introduced new latency fields and standardized the latency_threshold field, converting its type from integer to string to ensure consistency across dashboards and alerting pipelines. Using Python and JSON, Joyce addressed endpoint latency naming and type inconsistencies, reducing misconfigurations and improving monitoring accuracy. She managed the release of Yelp/paasta version 1.36.6 through Makefile-driven automation, delivering improved latency visibility and stability. Her work demonstrated depth in API development, schema design, and release management within observability engineering.
