PROFILE

Aaron Vaage

Worked on privacy and data hygiene features for google/perfetto, delivering PID-aware redaction for ftrace rename events and a transform primitive to remove empty trace events, both aimed at improving trace data security and storage efficiency. Refactored the trace redaction test suite to standardize package naming and surfaced a bug in synthetic entry handling, enhancing test reliability and maintainability. Contributed to LunarG/gfxreconstruct by improving Android replay user experience and logging reliability, and maintained documentation accuracy for onboarding. Demonstrated expertise in C++, system programming, and integration testing, with a focus on robust, maintainable solutions that align with project privacy and usability goals.

Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for google/perfetto focusing on the redaction path. Key features delivered: refactor of the Trace Redaction Test Suite to use a common package name and UID, improving maintainability and reducing duplication across test files. Major bugs/insights: exposed a bug in the redaction flow where synthetic entries were appearing across all process trees due to how disconnected processes/threads were handled versus adding synthetic entries; tests updated to surface the issue with a plan for a future fix. Overall impact: increased test reliability, clearer test coverage for edge cases, and groundwork for a more robust privacy-preserving tracing workflow, enabling safer sharing of traces in production. Technologies/skills demonstrated: integration/test refactoring, test suite hygiene, debugging, and commit-driven incremental evolution of the redaction pipeline.

May 2025 Summary for google/perfetto: Focused on data hygiene and storage efficiency in the trace pipeline. Delivered a new transform primitive that removes empty ftrace events (events containing only PID and timestamp), reducing trace data size and preventing data bloat. The feature aligns with the Trace Redaction effort (#1384) and was shipped with minimal performance impact, improving storage efficiency for large-scale tracing and expediting downstream analytics.
