PROFILE

Eric Neilsen

Over four months, contributed to the lsst-sqre/phalanx repository by building and refining Kubernetes-based deployments for SchedView applications. Focused on infrastructure as code and configuration management, the work included developing Helm charts for static page hosting with Nginx, upgrading scheduler dashboard and snapshot deployments, and enhancing deployment security and reliability. Used YAML and Markdown to manage deployment configurations, standardize environments, and streamline release processes. Addressed deployment drift by aligning image versions and automating configuration updates, while also implementing resource limits and unprivileged containers for improved security. The engineering approach emphasized maintainability, stability, and consistent delivery across development environments.
