PROFILE

David Biddle

Worked on the alphagov/forms suite, focusing on restoring and standardizing automated dependency updates across multiple repositories to improve security and reduce manual maintenance. Leveraged skills in DevOps, dependency management, and Ruby to reinstate weekly Dependabot npm updates in forms-runner, forms-admin, and forms-product-page, implementing a revert-based workflow and open pull request limits for consistency. Additionally, upgraded the Ruby setup in GitHub Actions for the forms-e2e-tests repository, aligning CI/CD pipelines with current Ruby versions to enhance reliability and performance. Used Ruby, YAML, and continuous integration practices to deliver maintainable solutions that strengthened the overall development and deployment process.
