PROFILE

Shaun Francis

Over a three-month period, this developer enhanced deployment automation and environment stability across the hmcts/civil-wa-task-configuration and hmcts/cnp-flux-config repositories. They implemented dynamic image retrieval based on GitHub labels, streamlined CI/CD pipelines by simplifying Jenkinsfile environment variables, and improved deployment consistency using Kubernetes and Helm. Their work included stabilizing functional tests by correcting branch references and addressing image tagging issues to prevent deployment failures. By cleaning up obsolete HelmReleases and validating deployment changes in demo environments, they reduced configuration drift and improved readiness for production. The developer demonstrated expertise in Groovy, YAML, configuration management, and infrastructure as code practices.

December 2025: Delivered key features and stabilizations across hmcts/civil-wa-task-configuration and hmcts/cnp-flux-config. Key features included Civil Service Deployment Automation with dynamic image retrieval driven by GitHub labels, improved PR deployments, and consistent civil-service URL across environments. Major bugs fixed included stabilizing CCD functional tests by correcting an incorrect branch reference (with a revert of a prior fix) and correcting image tagging issues to prevent deployment failures. Prepared the performance testing environment for new feature branches enabling end-to-end validation for civil citizen UI and civil service applications. Overall impact: accelerated, more reliable deployments, reduced test flakiness, and improved cross-environment consistency, enabling faster feature validation and safer releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: GitOps (Flux), CI/CD optimization, Kubernetes-based deployments, image policy management, test stabilization, and cross-repo collaboration.
