DevOps

• 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 delivery of 20 GIS data pipelines

  Automated delivery of 20 GIS data pipelines and app data ETL processes, streamlining infrastructure automation and reporting.

• Led a GIS map application to 10x revenue growth

  Led the software development of a GIS map application, driving revenue growth by 10x and positioning the product as a primary data asset.

• A tenth of the cloud bill, and nothing lost

  Optimized budget costs 10 times with zero loss in productivity for an international client by reimagining the overall infrastructure, eliminating unnecessary services, and relocating from the AWS cloud.

• Generated the API contract from the database out

  Generated the API contract outward from the database — OpenAPI, a 44,076‑line typed TypeScript client, 61 mock handlers and the limits the UI enforces — with a guard at every hop that fails on drift.

• Set the platform's founding technical decisions

  Set the platform's founding decisions in the weeks after the repository opened in November 2025 — the layering, database‑first data access and the zero‑warnings bar — and they still hold nine months on.

• Built the entire core infrastructure from scratch

  As one of the first hires, designed and built the entire core infrastructure and supporting processes from scratch for a green‑energy SaaS startup, laying the foundation for rapid growth.

• 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.

• Built first‑party error monitoring and tracing

  Built first‑party error monitoring and OpenTelemetry tracing rather than buying them — payload sanitising, spike and regression detection, symbolication and a synthetic heartbeat — behind 11 operator views.

• Your code on your own hardware

  Deployed the company's own git forge on Soft Serve, private by default with no web panel and its SSH port bound to loopback behind a jump host, and made the landing page in front of it a build artefact of the main site rather than a hand‑kept copy.

• 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.

• 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.

This work is part of what we offer as DevOps & CI/CD Automation, Technical Leadership & Consulting, Backend & API Development, Platform & Solution Architecture, Custom AI Agent Development, Frontend Development, GIS & Geospatial Solutions and Cloud Infrastructure & Migration.
