PROFILE

Jacob Buchanan

Worked on the puppetlabs/puppetlabs-peadm repository to enhance CI reliability and enable future compatibility with Puppet 8 and PE 2025. Addressed CI instability by constraining orchestrator_client dependencies and upgrading ruby_task_helper, resolving Bundler and Faraday issues in the Ruby-based pipeline. Expanded the test matrix and configuration files to support PE 2025, while maintaining backward compatibility with PE 2023. Leveraged skills in CI/CD, configuration management, and release management, using Puppet, Ruby, and YAML to automate testing and streamline release workflows. The work improved build stability, reduced risk for customer migrations, and ensured robust validation for new platform versions.
