September 2025 (equinor/flotilla) — Security-focused logging improvement in InspectionController. Refactored exception handling to suppress sensitive stack traces in logs, tuned logging level for InspectionNotFoundException to Warning, and removed exception objects from log calls. Delivered via commit c47f7886b800a6013e47952932b16aabad3c399d. Result: reduced risk of leaking internal system details, lower log noise, and improved security posture with minimal impact to runtime behavior.

August 2025: Focused on strengthening database reliability in the equinor/flotilla repo by introducing a configurable PostgreSQL operation timeout. The feature, defaulting to 30 seconds, reduces the risk of long-running queries and improves system resiliency under load. This work aligns with reliability and operational excellence goals and lays groundwork for tunable performance in production environments.

July 2025 focused on documentation hygiene for the equinor/flotilla backend. Delivered a targeted documentation cleanup by removing the Authorization table from the backend README and deprecating a legacy RBAC reference.
