Max Mehl worked on the OpenRailAssociation/osrd repository, focusing on modernizing and stabilizing the OSRD UI deployment process. Over two months, Max overhauled the CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and YAML, introducing a unified workflow that separated production and preview deployments and implemented PR-based preview URL management. By standardizing artifact naming and replacing hardcoded values with organization-wide variables, Max improved deployment consistency and maintainability. The work included release gating to ensure only tagged releases update production, reducing deployment risk. These changes accelerated release cycles, streamlined onboarding, and enabled faster feedback for UI changes, demonstrating depth in DevOps and deployment automation.

August 2025 (OpenRailAssociation/osrd) — Focused on stabilizing and simplifying deployment pipelines for the OSRD UI website. Implemented a CI/CD workflow refactor to separate preview and production deployment, and replaced hard-coded values with organization-wide variables to reduce maintenance overhead, improve consistency across environments, and accelerate production releases and PR previews.

In July 2025, I delivered a major OSRD UI CI/CD overhaul that unified and modernized the deployment pipeline for prod and preview environments, implemented PR-based preview URL management, standardized artifacts, and tightened release gating to trigger on ui-v tagged releases, while cleaning up configuration by removing unused environment variables. The changes reduce deployment risk, improve artifact traceability, and accelerate release cycles.
