Tobias Ericsson managed release engineering and configuration management for the influxdata/official-images repository, focusing on Neo4j Docker images. Over six months, he delivered and maintained versioned release artifacts by aligning tags, commit hashes, and directory structures across community and enterprise editions for multiple base images. Using Docker, Shell scripting, and version control, Tobias ensured that each release accurately reflected upstream Neo4j versions, improving traceability and reproducibility for downstream deployments. His work reduced deployment drift and mis-tagged artifacts, strengthened CI/CD reliability, and provided audit-ready release documentation. The depth of his contributions enhanced release automation and supported consistent, reliable customer deployments.

Aligned release pointers and directory structure in influxdata/official-images to Neo4j 2025.09.0; updated tags and commit hashes; ensured latest release is pointed for community/enterprise editions and base images (bullseye, ubi9).
