PROFILE

Ed Stephinson

Worked on the incident-io/terraform-provider-incident repository, delivering features and reliability improvements over three months. Developed deterministic JSON handling in the Incident Engine using Go, introducing lexicographic key ordering and normalization to ensure consistent Terraform state and reliable environment comparisons. Enhanced API integration by fixing JSON marshaling to preserve special characters, improving data integrity for downstream consumers. Added support for escalation path acknowledgment modes and expanded HTTP alert source configurability, enabling flexible alert processing and provider-managed values. Maintained clear changelogs and comprehensive unit tests throughout, demonstrating a disciplined approach to Go development, Terraform provider engineering, and robust API and data modeling practices.

For 2025-06, delivered a focused feature in incident-io/terraform-provider-incident that enhances data integrity and Terraform state reliability by introducing deterministic JSON handling in the Incident Engine. The change set implements lexicographic ordering of JSON keys in engine literal values, adds a normaliseJSON function for deterministic data storage, and includes tests for parameter binding JSON ordering (including strings) along with a changelog entry. Overall impact: deterministic data representation enables reliable diffs and comparisons across environments, reducing drift and improving Terraform state consistency. The new tests increase coverage and reduce regression risk, supporting stable deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Go-based Terraform provider development, JSON normalization and deterministic serialization, test-driven development with focused unit tests, changelog/documentation discipline, and engineering practices that improve data integrity and deployment reliability.
