Automation & CI/CD

• Improved team communication and collaboration

  Improved team communication and collaboration by implementing Slack, Mattermost, 1Password, and Jira, saving 8,000 hours of labor.

• Overhauled internal processes, saving 8,000 hours

  Overhauled internal processes, saving 8,000 hours by improving software architecture, systems, and scheduling efficiency.

• Streamlined CI/CD processes, saving 4,000 hours

  Streamlined CI/CD processes, saving 4,000 hours by introducing automation in software development pipelines.

• Developed a Data Analytics reporting system

  Developed a Data Analytics reporting system, increasing quarterly software revenue by 400% through Python‑based PDF reports.

• Saved 150 hours a month across 30 projects

  Enhanced project efficiency, saving 150 hours per month across 30 projects by optimizing workflows and resource management.

• 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.

• Designed a time‑management and reporting system

  Designed a time‑management and reporting system that remained in production use for years without significant modification.

• Automated team collaboration

  Automated team collaboration, password management, task and time management, and built a semi‑automatic project‑showcase system, raising team productivity.

• Built a test suite across Go, SQL and browser

  Built a layered automated test suite — 981 Go tests, 543 frontend and browser specs, 494 SQL behavioural tests — with mutation testing, property‑based tests and an accessibility gate.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Put the documentation under its own linter

  Put the documentation under its own linter — a per‑file line budget that only ratchets down, an index requirement and a real‑path check — which found six of nine plans marked done while carrying unchecked boxes, and fourteen commit‑gating tasks named in no document.

• 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.

• Reached PDF/UA‑1 conformance at 106 of 106

  Established PDF/UA‑1 conformance across nine documents at 106 of 106 rules, and found the archival variant failing one rule of 146 — a near‑miss that reads as a pass to anyone not running the validator.

• 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.

• Built a cross‑language figure check

  Built a cross‑language content check that fails when a translation drops a figure the English states, and when a language uses notation it does not use — finding two Danish descriptions missing a metric and sixteen Ukrainian spans quoting in the English style.

• 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.

• Took the test suite to 8.9 seconds

  Took the test suite from six tests over a sixty‑second limit to 135 passing in 8.9 seconds by profiling the main thread and removing the two calls it sat inside for 3,989 samples out of 4,017.

• 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.
