PROFILE

Daniel Gut

Worked on the getyourguide/istio-config-validator repository, focusing on security, governance, and dependency management for backend systems. Over three months, implemented scoped token management in GitHub Actions workflows, reducing CI/CD automation risk by replacing broad tokens with fine-grained alternatives using YAML and Go. Responded to evolving governance policies by removing auto-merge automation for Renovate and Dependabot pull requests, ensuring manual review and improved repository control. Later, delivered a comprehensive dependency upgrade across the Kubernetes ecosystem and Prometheus, resolving version conflicts and patching vulnerabilities. This work enhanced build reliability, security posture, and release velocity, demonstrating strong skills in Go, Kubernetes, and CI/CD.
