PROFILE

Ben Gridley

Worked on the stacks-network/stacks-core repository to enhance testnet reliability and streamline integration workflows over a two-month period. Delivered the Testnet Epoch 3.4 Activation by updating activation height sample configurations, which reduced configuration drift and improved protocol testing alignment. Leveraged configuration management and Git-based versioning to ensure clear documentation and reproducibility. Later, implemented a scheduled Docker build for the pox-wf-integration branch, automating CI/CD processes and enabling more frequent integration testing. Utilized skills in CI/CD, DevOps, and Docker, along with configuration languages such as TOML and YAML, to accelerate feedback loops and support deployment readiness across teams.
