Joan Biel worked on release management and developer experience across SonarSource repositories, focusing on configuration management and documentation. In SonarSource/sonar-update-center-properties, Joan updated release metadata for Azure DevOps extensions and the SonarScanner CLI, introducing version lifecycle changes and z/OS support to improve upgrade paths and traceability. Using YAML and properties files, Joan ensured accurate metadata and streamlined customer upgrades. In SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action, Joan restructured the README to provide a Quick Start and usage guide, clarifying integration steps for GitHub Actions. The work emphasized maintainable documentation, cross-environment guidance, and reduced onboarding friction, demonstrating depth in release and configuration management.
