PROFILE
Paul Craig
Paul Craig contributed to the HHS/simpler-grants-gov repository by engineering robust deployment workflows and improving production stability for the NOFO Builder application. He focused on automating database migrations, refining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and enhancing security through enforced vulnerability scanning and secret management using AWS and Terraform. Paul addressed configuration drift by aligning environment variable naming conventions and implemented Docker-based security checks to reduce false positives during releases. His work emphasized maintainability and operational reliability, ensuring consistent deployments across environments. By leveraging Python, YAML, and Infrastructure as Code practices, Paul delivered solutions that reduced downtime and streamlined production readiness.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025 (HHS/simpler-grants-gov) – Focused on stabilizing security scans and reducing noise in the NOFO Builder workflow. The primary deliverable this month was a security-scan improvement to ignore non-sensitive settings.py during automated checks after upgrading to Python 3.14.2, preventing false positives from blocking releases. This work aligns with upgrade readiness, CI reliability, and maintainability of configuration across the NOFO Builder project.

Oct 1, 20252025-10 monthly summary for HHS/simpler-grants-gov. Primary focus: stabilize NOFO Builder deployment by addressing a Dockle security-scanning issue that falsely flagged Python settings.py as configuration after Python path changes. Implemented an update to .dockleconfig to ignore specific settings.py files, enabling successful deployment of NOFO Builder. This work eliminates a deployment blocker and supports the ongoing CI/CD workflow for NOFO features. Commits: acfff9d55d4275888e0b0b02ea4515a2cda5fafc (Dockle ignore Python "settings.py" files wrongly flagged as configuration (#6718)).
