• Reduced deployment time by 66% by implementing ability to deploy locally-compiled binaries onto Kubernetes/OpenShift using only command-line (Kubernetes/GoLang used for this and three below).
• Implemented ability for Kubernetes operator to fetch data from a deployed service and update config with data to deprecate reliance on startup script.
• Added startup probes to handle starting legacy application containers that require additional startup time.
• Refactored probes to have default values assigned based on deployed YAML while also fixing reconciliation issues.
• Rewrote the Jenkins (Groovy) nightly pipeline to run in a GitHub PR using a trigger keyword to test all the team's submitted PR's before merging to the main branch.
• Took initiative to write file to define the GitHub parameters for the above pipeline so that it can be recreated easily.
• Took initiative to write documentation on how to get started with the project to onboard new developers and mentored the incoming intern.
