PROFILE
Dave Mckay
Worked on infrastructure and configuration management within the lsst-sqre/phalanx repository, focusing on environment stability and deployment consistency. Addressed ingress routing by updating the UK ingress-nginx load balancer IP in YAML configuration files, ensuring traffic was correctly directed to the ukidacprod environment and reducing the risk of misrouting or downtime. Later, aligned Tap_schema image versions across both development and production environments, updating configuration files to maintain environment parity and streamline release processes. Utilized skills in DevOps, YAML, and release engineering to deliver targeted improvements, demonstrating a methodical approach to minimizing configuration drift and supporting reliable, maintainable infrastructure deployments.
