Dawid Strozak enhanced automation and monitoring workflows across two HMCTS repositories over a two-month period. In hmcts/dtspo-daily-monitoring, he refactored the Jira status query script using Bash and jq, replacing hardcoded JSON with a jq-based templating approach to enable dynamic JQL generation and improve maintainability. For hmcts/cnp-azuredevops-libraries, Dawid delivered secure deployment enhancements by migrating AKS manual workflow authentication from GitHub PAT to JWT-based GitHub App tokens, and strengthened deployment scripts with robust error handling and private key management. His work demonstrated depth in scripting, authentication, and CI/CD, resulting in more reliable, adaptable, and secure DevOps pipelines.
