Ashleigh Brennan engineered automated deployment and configuration management solutions within the hmcts/cnp-flux-config repository, focusing on Kubernetes environments. Over four months, Ashleigh delivered GitOps-driven workflows using Flux CD, Helm, and Kustomize, enabling repeatable deployments and streamlined lifecycle management for services such as labs-ashleigh31-nodejs. She implemented policy-driven image updates, managed cross-environment patching for CRDs, and upgraded core components like Neuvector and External DNS to address security and stability. Her work included YAML-based configuration, rollback strategies, and targeted bug fixes, resulting in improved release velocity, reduced manual intervention, and enhanced reliability across multiple environments. The solutions demonstrated strong depth in DevOps practices.

September 2025: Delivered end-to-end patching and environment rollout for hmcts/cnp-flux-config. Implemented CRD patching and base kustomizations for ITHC and NEUVECTOR, upgraded SBox to 2.8.x with cleanup, aligned kustomization base refs to CRD directory, resolved YAML/file discovery issues, and refined kustomization/config edits. Rolled out Neuvector patch 2.8.7 across environments with corresponding chart updates. Result: improved cross-environment consistency, reduced manual patching, and faster, safer release cycles. Demonstrated proficiency in Kubernetes CRDs, Kustomize, Helm-chart/version management, and Git-based patch workflows.
