Steve Bradbury developed and refined a Docker-based development and deployment workflow for the DFE-Digital/manage-free-school-projects repository, focusing on containerization and CI/CD improvements. He introduced Dockerfiles and docker-compose configurations, enabling reproducible environments and streamlined deployments. Steve addressed build reliability by consolidating Dockerfile setups, optimizing NuGet package restoration, and ensuring secure handling of GitHub tokens within CI/CD pipelines. He also updated documentation and migration instructions to reflect the new workflow, removed legacy configuration files, and improved code quality through Sonar updates. His work leveraged C#, Docker, and YAML, resulting in faster iterations, reduced configuration drift, and more maintainable backend infrastructure.
