Daniel Stoodley worked on configuration management enhancements in the hmcts/sds-flux-config repository, focusing on feature flag-driven restart behavior and deployment readiness. He implemented YAML-based configuration changes, such as introducing and toggling the TEMP_VAR flag to control Themis-fe service restarts and feature availability, and increased the AMS reporting batch job frequency to improve data freshness. Daniel’s disciplined approach emphasized traceable, centralized updates with clear commit messaging, ensuring maintainable and auditable changes. Leveraging skills in DevOps and configuration management, he delivered targeted improvements that streamlined deployment workflows and enhanced operational data reporting, demonstrating depth in managing infrastructure-as-code using YAML.
