Simran Sirsat developed an end-to-end MikTeX build, packaging, and CI workflow for the ppc64le/build-scripts repository, focusing on reproducible, containerized releases. Leveraging skills in Docker, build scripting, and system administration, Simran created build scripts and a Dockerfile to compile MikTeX from source and generate a distributable RPM package. The workflow included a container entrypoint script to streamline usage and automated the capture of build metadata for traceability. By addressing multiple build and CI failures in the Travis CI pipeline, Simran improved automation reliability and reduced manual intervention, ensuring consistent, cross-architecture results for MikTeX distribution on ppc64le.
