Worked on the airbytehq/airbyte-python-cdk repository to enhance CI/CD pipelines and strengthen container security. Focused on expanding automated end-to-end testing for Guardian API and PokeAPI connectors, leveraging YAML and Dockerfile to update CI workflows and container images. Upgraded the SDM and Python connector base images to enforce rootless and non-root configurations, improving the project’s security posture while maintaining operational stability. Addressed deployment risks by rolling back the SDM image when issues arose, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to balancing security with reliability. Utilized skills in DevOps, Docker, and GitHub Actions to deliver features that support broader connector coverage.
