PROFILE
Kurt Mckee
During a two-month period, Kurt McKee focused on reliability and modernization across open-source Python infrastructure. For pyvista/pyvista, he stabilized continuous integration by correcting conditional logic in GitHub Actions workflows and optimizing cache usage, which reduced warnings and improved build consistency. In boto/botocore, Kurt addressed Python 3.12 compatibility by replacing deprecated utcnow calls with timezone-aware datetime handling, ensuring authentication modules like SigV4 and S3Express generated valid signatures without runtime warnings. His work demonstrated careful attention to backward compatibility and maintainability, leveraging Python, YAML, and CI/CD best practices to deliver targeted, high-impact bug fixes in critical code paths.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for boto/botocore: Implemented a timezone-aware current time strategy to replace utcnow to fix a Python 3.12 DeprecationWarning across core components, including authentication and utility modules (SigV4, S3Express, and endpoint logic). Updated tests to align with the new timezone-aware approach. Commit involved: b0015b7b352c216eb059eaea6713ab68632640d3. Impact: improved reliability of time-based signatures, reduced runtime warnings, and better Python 3.12 compatibility across critical paths. Tech stack and practices: Python datetime/timezone handling, targeted test updates, maintainable code refactor with minimal API surface changes.
