Worked on kubearmor/KubeArmor, focusing on configuration hygiene and build system stability over a two-month period. Addressed configuration drift by removing an unused kube-rbac-proxy annotation from the manager configuration, ensuring that runtime behavior remained unchanged while improving maintainability. Later, upgraded the controller-gen tooling in the operator’s code generation workflow to version 0.16.5, aligning with newer capabilities and reducing build-time risks. Also fixed a Makefile reference to ensure consistent tooling across the codebase. Utilized skills in Kubernetes configuration, DevOps, and build systems, working primarily with YAML and Makefile to streamline development and support smoother, more reliable releases.
