I helped fix sleep-wake hangs on Linux with AMD GPUs (gitlab.io)
I dual-boot my desktop between Windows and Linux. Over the past few years, Linux would often crash when I tried to sleep my computer with high RAM usage. Upon waking it would show a black screen with moving cursor, or enter a "vegetative" state with no image on-screen, only responding to magic SysRq or a hard reset. I traced this behavior to an amdgpu driver power/memory management bug, which took over a year to brainstorm and implement solutions for.

Jepsen: Bufstream 0.1 (jepsen.io)
Bufstream is a Kafka-compatible streaming system which stores records directly in an object storage service like S3. We found three safety and two liveness issues in Bufstream, including stuck consumers and producers, spurious zero offsets, and the loss of acknowledged writes in healthy clusters. These problems were resolved by version 0.1.3.
