PROFILE

Max Herbert

Over a two-month period, contributed to the DiamondLightSource/workflows repository by building real-time observability features and improving developer experience. Developed GraphQL subscription support for workflow events, integrating with the Kubernetes and Argo Workflows APIs and exposing live updates through the Axum web framework using Rust. This enabled operators and developers to monitor workflow state changes in real time, supporting faster incident response and debugging. Additionally, delivered a local development environment for the Sessionspaces backend, providing a Docker-based setup with a mock ISPYB database and comprehensive documentation. These efforts streamlined onboarding, standardized development environments, and accelerated feature validation for the team.
