Over 11 months, contributed to os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse by engineering automated deployment, testing, and configuration solutions for SUSE and openSUSE environments. Developed dynamic Agama profiles using libsonnet and YAML to streamline openQA test coverage, and enhanced SAP HANA and NetWeaver installation automation with Perl and Shell scripting. Improved CI reliability through targeted bug fixes, including kernel module loading and service management, while modernizing test infrastructure for performance and high-availability scenarios. Introduced SELinux policy enhancements, flexible bootloader configuration, and network cleanup routines, demonstrating expertise in automation, configuration management, and system administration to deliver reproducible, maintainable, and secure infrastructure workflows.
April 2026: Implemented a dynamic Agama profile for openQA testing in os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse that adapts based on runtime variables, enabling multiple test scenarios to share a single profile and reducing profile proliferation. Added agama-config.libsonnet as the template and updated the installation flow to support the new format; extended bootloader logic to handle libsonnet-based profiles (agama inst.auto option) via ipxe_install.pm and bootloader_setup.pm. This work lays groundwork for scalable test coverage, reduces maintenance overhead, and improves consistency across test runs.

April 2025 performance summary for os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse. Delivered expanded NetWeaver cluster testing on SLES 16 (PVM) with multi-node schedules and cluster-specific test cases (firewall, iSCSI client setup, host/LUN configuration, watchdog, and NetWeaver installations), plus refactoring NFS client service naming for compatibility. Modernized test infrastructure for SLE16 kernel performance by consolidating hanaperf_postinstall.pm into install_qatestset.pm. Fixed configuration key normalization in agama-config.jsonnet for SLE16 by renaming 'body' to 'content' in the wipefs and enable root login sections. These changes broaden enterprise test coverage, simplify maintenance, and improve config consistency, delivering business value through higher reliability and faster feedback cycles.
