Etho Hampton focused on optimizing the build process for the vkoves/electrify-chicago repository by implementing Docker Build Cache Optimization. By reorganizing the Dockerfile to separate dependency installation from application code changes, Etho enabled more effective use of Docker’s build cache, which reduced rebuild times and accelerated deployment cycles. This approach improved CI/CD efficiency and contributed to more reliable, repeatable release workflows. Etho utilized Dockerfile and Shell scripting, applying build optimization and DevOps best practices to enhance maintainability and performance. The work addressed infrastructure cost and deployment velocity, demonstrating a thoughtful, targeted engineering solution to a core development bottleneck.
