PROFILE

Alex Nazemi

Worked on the govuk-one-login/txma-infra repository to deliver foundational improvements in CI/CD, security, and testing infrastructure over three months. Developed standardized CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker, introducing automation scripts in YAML and shell to pin dependencies and reduce drift. Enhanced security and maintainability by implementing cross-account access controls with AWS CloudFormation and IAM, and refactored code to align with evolving project terminology. Built dedicated test resources, including a DynamoDB table and scoped SSM Parameter Store configurations, to improve test isolation and reliability. The work emphasized infrastructure as code practices, automation, and clear separation of environments.

March 2026 contributions focused on strengthening the txma-infra testing harness by introducing a dedicated test DynamoDB resource (MockReceiverSETTable), test-scoped deployment controls, and aligned parameter management for safer, faster testing. Implemented environment scoping (development to staging only), updated SSM parameter prefixes to /tests/, and removed unnecessary custom KMS for the test table. These changes improve test reliability, clarity, and security posture while preserving CI efficiency.
