November 2025 for snyk/kubernetes-monitor: Delivered two security and stability-focused features that reduce risk and stabilize CI/CD. Upgraded the UBI9 base image to 9.7 and refreshed Dockerfile and Snyk policy to mitigate vulnerabilities present in 9.6. Replaced OpenJDK with Eclipse Temurin in system tests to address OpenJDK deprecation and ensure reliable test execution. These changes improved security posture, reduced maintenance risk, and strengthened deployment reliability across environments. Demonstrated skills in container security hardening, base image management, Java ecosystem migrations (OpenJDK to Temurin), and vulnerability remediation tooling (Snyk).

June 2025 monthly summary for snyk/snyk-docker-plugin: Implemented CI authentication improvement for private npm registry by introducing a setup_npm_user command and integrating it into CircleCI build/release workflow. Fixed build step credential propagation to ensure npm_TOKEN is written to .npmrc during CI, reducing flaky builds and enabling secure access to private packages. Resulted in streamlined CI/CD and more reliable image builds.
