Worked on the AsyncTI4/TI4_map_generator_bot repository, delivering features and infrastructure to support scalable Discord bot operations and automated game management. Focus areas included CI/CD workflow automation, Docker-based deployment, and integration with AWS S3 for cost-optimized asset storage. Leveraging Python, Java, and YAML, the work introduced remote debugging for Java processes in containers, Discord API integration for multi-server support, and secure environment variable handling for API keys. Efforts also addressed deployment reliability, backup automation, and rollback procedures to maintain system stability. The approach emphasized maintainable configuration management, resource efficiency, and risk mitigation across evolving backend and DevOps workflows.
February 2026 (2026-02) focused on stabilization and rollback in TI4_map_generator_bot. No new features were introduced; the month was dominated by reducing risk and maintenance burden through a targeted rollback of automation. Key action was reverting the automatic video generation and Discord posting feature to restore the prior game-end flow, and removing the associated workflow and script to prevent unintended posts.

September 2025: Delivered a cost-optimized S3 upload feature for map images in AsyncTI4/TI4_map_generator_bot, introducing a storage class parameter to control where assets are stored. Initially deployed with ONEZONE_IA to reduce costs for infrequent access, then updated to Intelligent-Tiering to enable automatic tiering based on usage patterns. This delivers lower storage costs for rarely accessed assets while maintaining retrieval performance. No major bugs recorded this period. Key commits include ca690b0fe8ec2b01c9e2b628f6774857a52a8eb7 (upload maps as one zone infrequent access) and fe1b29ba77144e24e1dfe60c9fa86da384d0cea6 (use intelligent tiering storage).
