PROFILE
Cato Olsen
Cato Olsen engineered robust backend and infrastructure improvements for the navikt/testnorge repository, focusing on authentication modernization, CI/CD reliability, and secure configuration management. He migrated secret handling to Google Cloud Secret Manager, unified authentication flows using Spring Boot and OAuth2, and standardized Azure AD issuer URIs to streamline deployments. Cato consolidated proxies, refactored WebFlux security, and introduced Gradle-based build validation, reducing operational risk and maintenance overhead. His work included Docker and Java development, database migration with Flyway, and enhanced observability through unified logging. These efforts improved developer onboarding, deployment stability, and service reliability, demonstrating strong depth in backend engineering practices.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (Month: 2025-10): Delivered major enhancements in testing infrastructure and a unified Dolly proxy, delivering measurable business value through improved test reliability, faster onboarding, and streamlined authentication. Key work includes upgrading test dependencies and refactoring tests to align with best practices, consolidating multiple proxies into a single Dolly proxy with reconfigured CI/CD, and strengthening the authentication flow with AzureNavTokenService. Also fixed documentation/navigation issues to ensure accurate local development references and addressed Dolly proxy-related bugs. Technologies demonstrated: Testcontainers, OpenSearch, Vitest, AzureNavTokenService, CI/CD tooling. Impact: higher code quality, fewer CI failures, and simpler maintenance.

Sep 1, 2025In 2025-09, navikt/testnorge delivered measurable business value through feature migrations, infrastructure modernization, and reliability fixes. Key features: Valkey Migration (Redis to Valkey for session management across configurations; updated dependencies and service names; Redis references removed) and Docker Base Image Upgrade with Init Script Consolidation (openjdk-21 base image across apps; standardized entry points and working directories; deprecated init scripts removed). Major bugs fixed: Vault Startup Reliability Improvement (Vault token initialized before Spring loads Vault configurations by relocating NaisVaultKeyInitializer into the main startup) and BudProService Reactive Streams Refactor and Bug Fix (migrated to Reactive Flux streams and fixed randomized BudProRecords generation). Impact: reduced startup failures, consistent runtime behavior, streamlined deployments, and easier operational maintenance. Technologies/skills: migration and dependency updates, Docker/OpenJDK 21, Spring Boot/Vault initialization order, Reactive programming with Flux, code cleanup and standardization.
