Hi there, I’m Rishabh Saraswat 👋

Computer Science undergraduate at NIT Srinagar, building production-grade backend systems and contributing to open source.

Security: Resolved TLS 1.3 connectivity issues in cassandra-stress; implemented Perfect Forward Secrecy via updated cipher suites to meet modern encryption standards. Addresses: Commit | PR | CASSANDRA-21007
Updated HTTP to HTTPS in README – Eliminated unnecessary 301 redirects for cleaner, more secure project docs. Addresses: Commit | PR| CASSANDRA-21110
Feature Testing: Engineered a simulation script for “blocked” data scenarios; verified storage utility accuracy for file sizes and date formats, optimizing disk-space diagnostics. Addresses: Commit | PR | CASSANDRA-20448
Fixed Broken “Getting Started” Link – Fixed Getting Started hyperlink. Commit | PR #4550 | CASSANDRA-21121
Implemented Guardrail for Unprepared Statements (review in progress) – Developed a new Guardrail configuration to detect, warn, or reject queries that bypass the prepared statement cache (cache misses). Impact: Enhances cluster stability and performance by mitigating the overhead caused by ad-hoc query patterns and enforcing client-side best practices. Pending commit | PR #4596 | CASSANDRA-21139
Memory optimization(review under progress) - Fixed unnecessary string instance creation while MBean creation. Pending Commit | PR#4548 | CASSANDRA-20446
