PROFILE

Nathaniel Woodthorpe

Worked on the cds-snc/terraform-modules repository to enhance DNS resolver configurability in Terraform-based cloud infrastructure. Over two months, delivered two new features by introducing the firewall_domain_redirection_action and block_action parameters to the resolver_dns module. These additions enabled operators to control CNAME redirection evaluation and specify actions for blocked domains, supporting policy-driven DNS resolution and improved observability. The work included parameter validation, comprehensive testing for edge cases, and thorough documentation updates. Leveraged skills in Infrastructure as Code, Terraform, and HCL to ensure changes were version-aligned, traceable, and compatible with existing module interfaces, contributing to more flexible and reliable deployments.
