PROFILE
Lawrence Stalder
Lawrence developed and automated the Windows build and signing pipeline for the nymtech/nym-vpn-client repository, focusing on secure, traceable releases. Over two months, he introduced a GitHub Actions-based CI/CD workflow that orchestrates dependency installation, artifact management, and Tauri-based Windows builds, leveraging Bash and YAML for automation. He integrated development mode support and managed signing keys and secrets to streamline both testing and production releases. In January, Lawrence extended the workflow to include automated Extended Validation code signing via SSL.com, reducing manual steps and enhancing installer trust. His work improved release security, compliance, and user experience for Windows deployments.
