PROFILE
Mikel Alcon
Worked on the google/copybara repository over a three-month period, focusing on automation and reliability in release and Git workflows. Developed an automated weekly release process using GitHub Actions and Shell scripting, introducing date-stamped Java builds for improved traceability and auditability. Enhanced the git.mirror Starlark action to globally honor the --force flag, simplifying force pushes and reducing manual errors in CI/CD pipelines. Addressed workflow failures by fixing release permissions, ensuring automated tagging and release creation. Leveraged skills in Java, YAML, and Starlark to streamline build automation, improve deployment reliability, and align release processes with repository governance for predictable delivery.
