-
Automated GIS SaaS deployment with GitHub Actions
Automated GIS SaaS application deployment, data processing, and reporting system using GitHub Actions CI/CD, Python, Bash, and SQL.
-
Automated 100 critical data backups using Barman
Automated 100 critical data backups using Barman, Google Cloud, Bash, and Python, ensuring data integrity across databases.
-
Saved 4,000 hours with GitHub and GitLab CI/CD
Streamlined data analysis and software development processes, saving 4,000 hours by introducing GitHub, GitLab, Bash, and Python CI/CD practices.
-
Automated data processing in Python and PL/pgSQL
Automated data processing tasks using Shell scripting, PL/pgSQL, Python, and Transact‑SQL, increasing productivity and efficiency.
-
Reconciled a 20‑record DNS zone as code
Reconciled a 20‑record DNS zone declaratively against the Cloudflare API with separate audit and BIND‑export entry points, and turned the CDN proxy back off on privacy grounds after building it.
-
Provisioned a second server from code
Automated the provisioning of a second server on a second cloud provider, creating the firewall before the machine so it is born behind one, with both providers' firewalls written directly against their REST APIs to avoid a third‑party collection.
-
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.
-
A safety net that no longer costs half an hour
Cut the site's browser‑driven quality gate from 1,636 seconds to 615 by scheduling its checks longest‑first through a worker pool bounded to four lanes, after measuring that alphabetical order cost 320 seconds against 224.
-
Fixed a sitemap with one shared timestamp
Fixed a sitemap where 172 of 176 URLs shared one modification timestamp, by taking the date from git history after establishing that the export rewrites every file on every run.
-
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.
-
Held the generator to 981 tests and 92% coverage
Held the generator to 981 test cases at a 92% branch‑coverage floor with warnings treated as failures, and asserted idempotence by running the whole build pipeline twice from an empty file and requiring the second pass to change nothing.
-
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.
-
Wrote tests for the checkers themselves
Wrote tests for the checkers themselves after establishing that a checker fed only clean input will one day report clean because it read nothing — planting a misspelling to confirm the spell‑check finds it, and taking an id range from the database rather than from a number in the test.
-
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.
-
Rehearsed the forge CI hook, found 2 defects
Rehearsed the forge‑side CI hook and found two defects unreachable by reading the file: a fallback that put an unresolvable argument on the hook's input, and git's own environment variable following the gate into the checkout and turning 19 tests red.
-
Measured 13 addresses with no tracking
Measured thirteen addresses from the web server's own access log alone — no cookie, no tracker and no third‑party service — masking the client network as each line is written, and folding the result into a permanent archive of 21 daily counts and 20 monthly facets.
-
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.
