PROFILE

Zach Kemp

Worked on reliability and security improvements across two open source repositories. For Shopify/opentelemetry-ruby-contrib, standardized test coverage reporting by unifying SimpleCov configuration and integrating coverage enforcement into GitHub Actions, enhancing CI/CD reliability. Addressed a Redis 5 logging vulnerability by updating tests to use RedisClient and ensuring sensitive credentials were not exposed in traces or logs. In the ferrocene/ferrocene repository, resolved a parser ambiguity in Rust by conditionally wrapping the left-hand side of int_plus_one expressions involving as-casts, improving linting accuracy and code correctness. Demonstrated careful change management and proficiency in Ruby, Rust, error handling, and instrumentation.
