Ghislain Cheng contributed to the zama-ai/fhevm and zama-ai/kms repositories by engineering robust deployment and recovery workflows using Helm, Kubernetes, and YAML. Over four months, he enhanced smart contract deployment reliability by implementing idempotent Helm chart logic, post-deployment verification, and Kubernetes scheduling controls. He improved observability by reconfiguring service monitors for better metrics collection and streamlined deployment hygiene. Ghislain also addressed upgrade safety in zama-ai/kms by updating Helm chart hooks to ensure configuration consistency during installs and upgrades. His work on Helm-based PVC restoration from volume snapshots further strengthened data recovery, demonstrating depth in cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices.

February 2025 (Month: 2025-02) focused on observability and reliability in the zama-ai/fhevm repository. Delivered KMS-service monitoring improvements for kms-core by updating the kms-service Helm chart: switch the service monitor from headless to ClusterIP for proper metrics collection, enable image tag relabeling, and bump the Helm chart version to reflect changes. No major bugs fixed this month; all changes enhanced metrics visibility and deployment reliability, contributing to faster incident detection and smoother releases. This work demonstrates strong Kubernetes, Helm, and Prometheus capabilities with direct business value by improving monitoring coverage and deployment hygiene.
