Charlie Sestito

Worked on the PaloAltoNetworks/pan.dev repository, delivering targeted improvements across CI/CD workflows, documentation, and deployment reliability. Addressed a critical GitHub Actions misconfiguration by correcting artifact handling in YAML, which stabilized deployment previews and improved feedback cycles. Enhanced onboarding and tool adoption by authoring comprehensive Markdown documentation for pan-chainguard, including step-by-step usage guides. Upgraded the CI/CD base image in GitLab to strengthen build security and ensure Node.js 22 compatibility, updating pipeline configuration accordingly. Additionally, improved developer experience by fixing a front end documentation link for the Air Runtime Security API. Demonstrated proficiency in JavaScript, YAML, and technical writing throughout.

March 2025: Delivered a targeted bug fix to improve CI/CD deployment preview reliability for the pan.dev project. Resolved a misconfiguration in the GitHub Actions workflow by correcting the artifact pinning (ensuring the correct download-artifact action is used rather than the erroneously pinned upload-artifact). This fix stabilizes deployment previews and provides consistent feedback for PRs and stakeholders.
