Andrey Askolochkin engineered robust CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation for the datalens-tech/datalens-backend repository, focusing on reliability, scalability, and developer efficiency. He modernized workflows by migrating to Kubernetes and self-hosted runners, optimized PR validation, and introduced automation such as Copilot review triggers. Leveraging technologies like GitHub Actions, Docker, and Terraform, Andrey improved build determinism, reduced flaky tests, and streamlined release cycles. His work included shell scripting for build configuration, Dockerfile enhancements for diagnostics, and CI linting for infrastructure-as-code quality. These efforts resulted in faster feedback loops, lower operational overhead, and more predictable releases, demonstrating depth in DevOps engineering.
April 2026: CI/CD optimization and bug fix in the backend repo, focused on improving frontend release velocity and CI reliability. Action taken: removed the frontend end-to-end (E2E) testing workflow to streamline the CI pipeline, addressing delays and flaky tests that impacted releases.

Monthly summary for 2025-11: Delivered a major CI/CD modernization for datalens-backend by migrating GitHub Actions workflows to self-hosted runners, removing legacy runners, and tightening PR validation to improve reliability and deterministic build environments. Implemented focused PR validation fixes (commitlint-pr-title and PR name validation) and ensured appropriate self-hosted runner permissions, reducing gating friction and CI flakiness. As a result, CI feedback loops shortened, build stability increased, and maintenance overhead decreased. Demonstrated strong CI/CD engineering, security controls, and code hygiene practices with clear traceability to commits.
