Work History

April 2026

1 Commits

Apr 1, 2026

In April 2026, the LedgerHQ/ledger-secure-sdk team focused on stabilizing CI workflows and reducing branch deletion failures. Key fix: sanitized the head_ref variable in the branch deletion CI job to prevent issues in automated branch management. This change reduces CI flakiness and protects automated workflows from incorrect head_ref handling. Impact: more reliable CI operations, safer branch maintenance, and lower operational risk. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CI/CD scripting, Git-based workflows, code hygiene, and change validation in a security-focused SDK repository.
