Concise monthly summary for 2025-05 focusing on key features delivered, major fixes, impact, and skills demonstrated for Adyen/adyen-android. Delivered two primary features: (1) Maven Central Release Process Update enabling OSSRH Staging API-based artifact uploads, with alignment of environment variables and endpoints, and a post-upload step to finalize releases via the Central Portal; (2) AI Exclusion Rules and Ignore File Documentation introducing root .aiexclude and app-specific .aiexclude to prevent Gemini/AI processing of generated/config files, plus clarified comments around .DS_Store behavior. No major bugs reported this month; main efforts were in improving release reliability, governance, and documentation. These changes enable faster, safer deployments to Maven Central and reduce risk of inadvertent AI processing of internal files. Demonstrated release engineering, API-based automation, and documentation skills with cross-team collaboration.
