Over a two-month period, contributed to DataDog’s dd-trace-js and dd-trace-go repositories by building targeted observability features for large language model (LLM) integrations. Developed a reasoning output token metrics system for the OpenAI plugin in dd-trace-js, instrumenting code paths and integrating with reporting dashboards to provide visibility into token usage during reasoning tasks. In dd-trace-go, designed and implemented the llmobs.WithAnnotatedCostTagKeys API, enabling structured cost tag propagation and telemetry for LLM cost and token metrics. Leveraged Go, Node.js, and API design skills to enhance metric granularity, support cost attribution, and ensure robust, test-driven integration across both codebases.
In May 2026, delivered a focused LLM Observability enhancement in DataDog/dd-trace-go: the new llmobs.WithAnnotatedCostTagKeys API enables propagation of annotated cost tag keys to LLM cost and token metrics, aligning behavior with DataDog’s other language tracers (dd-trace-py and dd-trace-js). The feature adds structured cost tagging on LLMObs spans, supports dedup across multiple annotations, and serializes cost tags into span events under metadata._dd.cost_tags. Telemetry counters for cost-tag usage were introduced to surface adoption and impact. The change reduces ambiguity in LLM cost attribution and enables finer granularity (e.g., by team, project, service line) for business decision-making.

December 2025 monthly summary for DataDog/dd-trace-js. Delivered a new Reasoning Output Token Metrics feature for the OpenAI plugin to track token usage during reasoning tasks. Implemented instrumentation across relevant code paths, integrated with reporting, and added tests to verify metrics collection. This enhances observability, supports cost optimization, and improves reliability of LLM-powered flows.
