PROFILE

Akbar Baig

Worked on the cert-manager/aws-privateca-issuer repository, focusing on deployment reliability and automation in Kubernetes environments. Delivered a namespace scoping fix for the HorizontalPodAutoscaler by updating HPA metadata to ensure resources are created in the correct release namespace, improving isolation and reliability for multi-tenant setups. Enhanced the CI/CD pipeline by implementing GitHub Actions workflows and templates, standardizing issue reporting, testing, and deployment processes to streamline contributor onboarding and accelerate delivery. Leveraged Go, YAML, and Docker to maintain code hygiene and minimize risk, demonstrating a methodical approach to DevOps and release engineering over a two-month period with targeted, high-impact changes.

December 2025: Fixed a crucial namespace scoping bug for HorizontalPodAutoscaler in cert-manager/aws-privateca-issuer to ensure HPAs are created in the correct release namespace by including the namespace in HPA metadata, preventing unintended deployment to the default namespace. This improves isolation across environments and reinforces reliability of autoscaling in multi-tenant deployments.
