During September 2025, contributed to the superfly/flyctl repository by implementing default Zstandard (zstd) image compression with a progressive, flag-based rollout using LaunchDarkly. This work involved updating the image build pipeline in Go to support configurable compression algorithms and levels, integrating validation for compression settings, and enabling safe, controlled adoption through CLI flags and configuration. The approach reduced image sizes, improved deployment speed, and lowered storage costs while allowing for measured rollout and rollback. Leveraging skills in backend development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, the developer ensured consistent artifact generation and minimized risk during the transition to the new compression standard.
