PROFILE

Alex Lillistone

Worked on the oqc-community/qat repository to deliver a series of CI/CD, security, and tooling improvements focused on reliability, maintainability, and cross-platform readiness. Over three months, implemented workflow modernization by updating GitHub Actions pipelines, optimizing Poetry cache usage, and reorganizing project structure for clearer configuration management. Enhanced security by updating dependencies and integrating comprehensive vulnerability reporting, while also modernizing notebook tooling and pre-commit scripts. Addressed pipeline stability by refining OS matrix configurations and reducing false positives in CI. Leveraged Python, YAML, and Bash to ensure deterministic builds, faster feedback cycles, and safer, more maintainable releases across multiple environments.
