PROFILE

Ashley Harrison

Worked on enhancing plugin validation and build stability across Grafana repositories. Developed a deprecation-detection feature for the grafana/plugin-validator, introducing a Semgrep rule and TypeScript logic to flag deprecated topnav toggle usage in plugins, with automated tests ensuring reliable detection and early warnings for maintainers. In grafana/azure-data-explorer-datasource, focused on dependency management by updating the yarn.lock file and resolving Node.js package versions, which improved build reproducibility and reduced dependency conflicts. Also contributed internationalisation markup to support future translations. Utilized Go, TypeScript, and YAML configuration, demonstrating a methodical approach to code linting, static analysis, and package management for ecosystem safety.
