PROFILE
Gareth Francis
G. Francis developed automated TLS provisioning for Argo CD ingress in both ukidacdev and ukidacprod environments within the lsst-sqre/phalanx repository. Leveraging Kubernetes, cert-manager, and AWS Route 53, Francis configured DNS validation workflows that integrate AWS credentials and hosted zone details, eliminating manual certificate management and enhancing deployment security. The work involved writing and updating YAML configurations to enable cert-manager to handle Route 53 DNS challenges, ensuring secure, scalable access to Argo CD. Over two months, Francis delivered two features focused on cloud infrastructure and DevOps, demonstrating depth in automating PKI integration and improving deployment reliability without reported bugs.
