PROFILE

Andy Mills

Andy Mills contributed to the Coalfire-CF/terraform-aws-vpc-nfw repository by engineering Suricata-based network traffic management, integrating firewall configuration and modern TLS enforcement to enhance security and reduce attack surface. He migrated automation for README updates to GitHub Actions, streamlining maintenance and centralizing workflows. Andy also updated licensing to align with new policy requirements and implemented CODEOWNERS governance, introducing path-based reviewer mapping to improve pull request ownership and compliance. His work leveraged skills in shell scripting, JSON, and DevOps practices, resulting in a more secure, maintainable, and well-governed infrastructure-as-code environment without introducing critical defects during the development period.
