Itxaka Garcia developed core bootloader and image generation features for the kairos-io/AuroraBoot repository, focusing on reliability and maintainability across cloud and on-premises workflows. Over three months, he engineered native Go tooling for raw disk and ISO image creation, improved EFI boot compatibility for USB and CD/DVD media, and automated dependency management using Renovate. His work included refactoring CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, enhancing error handling, and introducing a CLI for netboot artifact extraction. By leveraging Go, Shell scripting, and Docker, Itxaka delivered robust cross-platform solutions that streamlined build processes, reduced operational risk, and improved artifact management throughout the pipeline.

January 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering core features for AuroraBoot, stabilizing ISO/EFI behavior, enabling cross-arch disk image generation, and improving build hygiene. Highlighted engineering rigor in dependency management, CLI tooling, and Docker image cleanliness to drive reliability and maintainability across the pipeline.

December 2024 — Kairos-io/AuroraBoot: Delivered critical boot reliability enhancements and native tooling improvements that accelerate cloud workflows. Primary focus was on EFI ISO boot reliability across USB and CD/DVD media, a Go-based raw disk image generation workflow to replace script-based tooling, and robust cleanup of temporary directories in the Aurora boot process. The work reduced boot discrepancies, improved cloud image readiness (GCE/Azure), and eliminated artifact buildup in error scenarios, delivering measurable business value in reliability, deployment speed, and maintainability.
