Kyle Li

• Contributed to the Test Engineering team, focusing on creating a failure injection framework for end-to-end tests • Designed and implemented new failure injections (e.g., node panics, network partitions) to test CockroachDB’s resilience under fault scenarios • Integrated failure injection into the mixed-version framework with probabilistic (30%) application to all mixed-version roachtests • Introduced multi-region cluster simulation in end-to-end testing by injecting targeted network latency between nodes • Extended the testing framework to improve code coverage by 8,000 lines

• Spearheaded the development of a full-stack workforce management system and communicated with end-users to build desired features • Added cross-platform support to our development pipeline and created detailed documentation for on-boarding • Discovered inefficient SQL queries crippling inventory retrieval latency, and improved speeds by 80% through query optimizations • Served as sprint lead, overseeing weekly release cycles, delegating tasks, and conducting stand-ups to ensure alignment with project goals • Collaborated with other contributors to develop a robust business management and inventory tracking website organizing multi-step manufacturing procedures

• Received the UI of the Year award in Spring 2023 and nominated for Senior Student Employee award • Host lab sessions to provide students with hands-on experience in application of theoretical material • Hold weekly office hours to provide one-on-one tutoring for students on homework and questions • Collaborate with other teaching assistants to coordinate teaching goals and improve course curriculum

• Collaborated with professors to determine the most effective course structure for teaching incoming students • Met weekly with professionals in course design to discuss possible changes to the existing courses • Published our research on using the 4Es heuristic to guide CS course design
