Over a three-month period, Håvard Jaf built and enhanced security and configuration features for the equinor/design-system repository. He upgraded the Storybook Docker environment by updating the nginx base image in Dockerfile.storybook, addressing Snyk-reported vulnerabilities and reducing the container attack surface. Håvard also laid the groundwork for DNS automation by adding new configuration fields and placeholders in Radix config files, using YAML and JSON to support future DNS updates. Additionally, he improved developer experience by enabling Markdown Mermaid support in the devcontainer and corrected documentation typos, demonstrating depth in DevOps, configuration management, and security-focused engineering practices.

October 2025 – equinor/design-system: Delivered key features, fixed critical docs, and strengthened readiness for DNS automation, dev experience, and documentation accuracy. Highlights include DNS Alias Configuration groundwork in Radix config with placeholders for future dnsExternalAlias and certificate automation; Markdown Mermaid support in the devcontainer; and Card.docs.mdx typo fix. This work demonstrates business value through preparations for DNS updates and improved developer experience.
