Worked on Azure deployment usability enhancements for the BiblioNexusStudio/aquifer-server repository, focusing on streamlining authentication and deployment reliability. Consolidated Azure login inputs into a single credentials JSON, simplifying the authentication process and reducing the risk of misconfiguration. Transitioned the deployment workflow from using a third-party blob download action to leveraging the Azure CLI directly, which improved both reliability and maintainability. Updated the authentication step to utilize azure/login@v2.2.0 with the credentials parameter, further standardizing the CI/CD pipeline. This work was implemented using Shell and YAML, demonstrating practical application of Azure, DevOps, and GitHub Actions skills.
