Over 11 months, Freemvmt engineered robust authentication, infrastructure, and performance solutions for theopensystemslab/planx-new. They delivered Microsoft SSO integration with nonce-based CSRF protection, standardized database connection management, and hardened secret handling using Node.js, TypeScript, and Pulumi. Freemvmt modernized deployment pipelines with CI/CD improvements, Docker-driven workflows, and disaster recovery runbooks, while optimizing Hasura and Metabase services for reliability and scalability. Their work included migrating session storage to IndexedDB, implementing Caddy-based TLS with DNS automation, and provisioning minimal ML infrastructure on AWS. Each solution addressed real-world operational challenges, demonstrating depth in backend development, cloud infrastructure, and secure, maintainable system design.

Month 2025-10 focused on improving build reliability, environment stability, and scalable ML infrastructure. Key work included implementing a Caddy build failover path with source build fallback, stabilizing update workflows to avoid stale containers, and provisioning a minimal ML infra layer on AWS with Pulumi. This combination reduced build fragility, ensured clean deployment states, and enabled scalable, cost-aware ML experimentation.

January 2025 monthly summary for the PlanX project (theopensystemslab/planx-new). Focused on stabilizing the Hasura service and establishing a performance testing baseline. Delivered Hasura service infrastructure optimization and auto-scaling tuning to improve resource efficiency and responsiveness across production and staging. Finalised infrastructure configuration at sensible values and refined auto-scaling targets and health-check timeouts. Implemented a Locust-based load testing framework to simulate traffic against the Hasura GraphQL endpoint and editor splash page, enabling baseline performance monitoring and bottleneck detection. Together, these changes reduce resource waste, improve stability under load, and provide a reproducible platform for ongoing performance and reliability improvements.
