PROFILE

David Black

Worked on the atlassian/asap-authentication-python repository, delivering backend features and stability improvements over four months. Focus areas included refining JWT authentication timing, modernizing Python support, and enhancing dependency management to align with evolving platform requirements. Introduced Ruff-based linting for code quality, upgraded CI/CD infrastructure to Ubuntu 24.04, and implemented automated testing workflows using YAML and Python. Addressed compatibility by tightening PyJWT version ranges and resolving PBR dependency issues, while maintaining clear documentation and release notes. The work emphasized maintainability, security, and streamlined releases, leveraging skills in API development, DevOps, and continuous integration to reduce technical debt and improve reliability.
