PROFILE

Lee Gathercole

Over a two-month period, contributed to NHSDigital/dtos-devops-templates by stabilizing Docker image build pipelines and improving service rebuild visibility. Addressed a bug by reverting nested-folder file-change tracking logic, restoring previous behavior for determining which Docker services require rebuilding and updating output formats for clearer team feedback. This reduced unnecessary rebuilds and enhanced CI reliability. Additionally, delivered the initial 'Manage your screening' feature for NHSDigital/prevention-services-design-history, establishing a dedicated content collection and foundational design history to support centralized screening program management. Demonstrated skills in Docker, DevOps, scripting, information architecture, and technical writing, using Markdown, Nunjucks, and Shell.

March 2025 — NHSDigital/dtos-devops-templates: Stabilized image build decisions and improved visibility into Docker service outputs. Key actions included reverting the nested-folder file-change tracking logic for image rebuilds and updating the output format for affected services. These changes reduce unnecessary rebuilds, stabilize CI pipelines, and provide clearer feedback to the team. Key features delivered: - Reverted image rebuild tracking changes and adjusted Docker service output to restore prior behavior for evaluating which services require rebuilds. Major bugs fixed: - Reverted change to track file changes in nested folders for image rebuilds (commit 42e666d700edd87147d2fa657e19ef42c6b5f517), restoring the previous logic and updating output for affected services. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Decreased build churn by preventing unintended rebuilds due to nested-folder changes. - Improved CI reliability and service rebuild visibility for faster incident response and safer deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Docker and Docker service management - Image build pipelines and change-tracking logic - Git revert workflow and commit traceability - Output formatting and reporting for build signals
