Xiaonan Qi

Worked on the splunk/contentctl repository to deliver a robust Correlation Search dispatch and validation workflow, focusing on end-to-end automation and reliability. Developed features in Python that enabled automated reruns on failure, dynamic waiting with exponential backoff, and SID-based querying to retrieve risk and notable events. Enhanced error handling, logging, and timeout configurations improved observability and production readiness. Refactored validation logic into a clear, testable flow and streamlined retry behavior with adaptive wait time calculations. Improved documentation clarified validation conditions and parameter usage, while code formatting and linting ensured maintainability. The work emphasized backend development, scripting, and data modeling.
