-
Wrote 1,000 RBAC rules to secure Linux servers
Enhanced data security by implementing 1,000 RBAC rules for developers, application instances, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and other Linux servers, preventing unauthorized access; documented with Ansible automation.
-
Improved team communication and collaboration
Improved team communication and collaboration by implementing Slack, Mattermost, 1Password, and Jira, saving 8,000 hours of labor.
-
Authored 578 go‑task automation targets
Authored 578 go‑task automation targets spanning native, Docker and HTTPS dev modes, linting, testing, database and deployment.
-
Set a zero‑warnings bar across six languages
Set a zero‑warnings quality bar across six languages — Go, TypeScript, SQL, Python, Shell and Markdown — enforced by pre‑commit hooks.
-
Built a 268‑check guard engine for the repo
Built the repository's guard engine — 268 registered commit checks, 277 lint rules and 15 custom ESLint rules — plus 146 tests of the guards themselves, so the build holds the standard, not review.
-
Ran a continuous security scanning programme
Established a continuous security programme — code scanning, DAST, dependency and vulnerability checks, SBOM generation, secret scanning and SHA‑pinned actions — alongside 21 written security audits.
-
Servers you can rebuild from scratch
Built the company's own infrastructure as 19 Ansible playbooks and 34 roles across 12,065 lines of YAML, converging a live host to a declared state with every play idempotent.
-
Backups that have actually been restored
Built encrypted off‑host backups on restic with retention pruning, an integrity check and a monthly automated restore drill, then audited the recovery position and wrote down the gaps rather than leaving them to be found during an incident.
-
Built 7 read‑only host reporting roles
Built seven read‑only reporting roles that render a live host to Markdown — facts, access, git, metrics, traffic, security and provider inventory — under a rule that no number is printed the run did not measure.
-
Wrote a scope rule after a credential leak
Wrote a scope rule into the repository after a restructure carried another company's inventory, firewall allowances and prose into it — and kept the quarantined residue under the secret scanner rather than excluding it.
-
Built a 22‑linter commit gate
Built a commit gate of 22 one‑line linters plus five that earn a paragraph, with no warning tier and no inline suppressions permitted, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, YAML, Markdown, shell, links, spelling, secrets and typography.
-
Linted the 10,242‑line quality gate itself
Brought 10,242 lines of quality‑gate JavaScript under a formatter and a linter after establishing it was the largest body of code in the repository and the only one nothing read, fixing 13 findings and suppressing none.
-
Enabled every linter rule as an error
Selected every rule the Python linter has as an error, working through 1,815 findings to reach zero, with each of the few exemptions carrying a written reason and two of them backed by a checker instead of a comment.
-
Found the hooks and the gate disagreeing
Found the commit hooks and the quality gate running different checks while a document promised they were the same, by comparing the two lists in a test — the five that only ever ran by hand were the ones reading the CV prose.
-
Wrote a parser verifying every FFI call
Wrote a parser that reads the real 7,308‑line C header and verifies every call site, every enum constant and that every pointer‑owning class is final, after a hand‑written placeholder header let calls to three removed functions compile, link and crash.
-
Know the licence of everything you ship
Audited 644 Rust crates for licence compatibility on every build, and proved the check fires by rewriting one crate's licence and by moving the pinned core revision without regenerating.
-
Held 4 repositories to one history standard
Held four repositories to one history standard — conventional, emoji‑free, no attribution trailers, enforced by a commit‑message hook — alongside 48 instruction documents that govern how the work is done.
-
Made six collectors state what they skipped
Made six reporting collectors state the part of their input they never read — files that stayed shut, probes not installed, journal lines unrecognised — and fitted thresholds to 116 measured samples, after establishing that a blind collection and a healthy host render the same page.
