Iain contributed to the RoadieHQ/marketing-site repository by delivering features and documentation that improved cloud integration, authentication flows, and onboarding for enterprise users. He enhanced AWS connectivity by documenting S3 client deployment and DynamoDB regional configuration, using TypeScript, YAML, and Markdown to clarify setup and reduce misconfiguration risk. Iain also streamlined GitHub Enterprise Server OAuth integration and provided detailed guidance for Crossplane Kubernetes Ingestor plugin adoption, focusing on RBAC and XRD templating. His work emphasized configuration accuracy, security boundaries, and troubleshooting, resulting in more reliable plugin deployments and smoother onboarding experiences for customers integrating with CI/CD and cloud tooling.

In June 2025, delivered cross-cutting documentation enhancements for RoadieHQ marketing-site to streamline integrations onboarding, configuration accuracy, and troubleshooting. Key focus areas included GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) integration setup, Rootly integration guidance, GitLab OAuth configuration, and Scaffolder template OAuthSecret usage. These updates reduce onboarding time, decrease configuration errors, and lower support friction for customers integrating Roadie with their CI/CD tooling and templates. The work is anchored by four commits across the marketing-site repo, ensuring clear traceability and reproducibility.
