PROFILE
Gareth Francis
Worked on the lsst-sqre/phalanx repository to automate and secure TLS provisioning for Argo CD ingress in both development and production Kubernetes environments. Leveraged cert-manager with AWS Route 53 DNS validation, integrating IAM credentials and hosted zone details to enable automated certificate management and reduce manual intervention. Used YAML extensively to configure infrastructure as code, aligning deployment workflows for improved security and reliability. Focused on cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices, the work established scalable PKI integration and enforced secure access to Argo CD. No bugs were reported or fixed, reflecting a targeted approach to feature delivery over a two-month period.
