Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 delivered notable incident-management and stability work across two repos. In alphagov/govuk-helm-charts, a PagerDuty drill timing enhancement improves alert timeliness. In alphagov/frontend, stabilization work resolved Ruby 4 upgrade risks, followed by a controlled upgrade with environment and performance optimizations. Overall impact: improved incident response readiness, reduced risk from Ruby upgrades, and prepared groundwork for future feature parity and performance improvements. Technologies demonstrated: Ruby, Docker, Gemfile/MRI upgrades, bootsnap, puma, CI/CD hygiene, and incident management tooling.

March 2026: Focused on stabilizing on-call operations in alphagov/govuk-helm-charts by correcting a PagerDuty drill schedule misconfiguration. A bug fix reverted an unintended change and restored drills to Tuesdays at 10:00, preventing misaligned alerts and ensuring reliable incident readiness. The work used two revert commits (9c7a0c245914376e56eac239c7537e5e6f232ce1 and 1483f9321862f66c83f4699390a57d9b8dd4db20) to restore the approved schedule and maintain governance through traceable changes.
