PROFILE
Andrew Hosgood
Worked extensively on the nationalarchives/ds-infrastructure-web repository, delivering robust CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation across development, staging, and production environments. Focused on workflow reliability, environment parity, and release management, the work included integrating services like wagtail and enrichment, automating release notes, and enhancing Slack-based deployment notifications for targeted feedback. Leveraged technologies such as GitHub Actions, Shell scripting, and YAML to streamline configuration management, improve deployment traceability, and reduce operational risk. Regularly updated environment configurations, standardized naming conventions, and optimized test workflows, resulting in faster feedback loops, reduced manual intervention, and improved developer experience throughout the deployment lifecycle.
