PROFILE

Chris Nealen

Worked on the NGWPC/ngen repository to enhance CI/CD automation and security over a two-month period, focusing on YAML-based GitHub Actions workflows. Improved the security posture of the release pipeline by updating the Trivy scanner to its latest version, enabling more comprehensive vulnerability detection and faster developer feedback. Developed a synchronized multi-service deployment process that triggers downstream workflows for nwm-cal-mgr and nwm-fcst-mgr after tag promotion, using GitHub App authentication to securely coordinate releases. These changes streamlined deployment coordination, reduced manual intervention, and increased release consistency, demonstrating a strong command of CI/CD, DevOps practices, and workflow automation using YAML.
