PROFILE
Reece Markowsky
Reece developed and refined deployment infrastructure for the stellar/stellar-disbursement-platform-backend, focusing on scalable, secure AWS EKS environments. Over three months, Reece used CloudFormation, Helm, and Kubernetes to standardize domain configuration, centralize secret management, and streamline onboarding through improved documentation and directory structure. The work included deprecating legacy ECS and Bastion components, implementing dynamic region-aware naming, and enabling SMS notifications via AWS SNS. By consolidating deployment guides and environment variable handling in YAML and Bash, Reece reduced configuration drift and deployment errors, resulting in more reliable, maintainable multi-environment deployments and a clearer, faster onboarding process for new tenants and environments.

6 Commits • 3 Features
Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered deployment-focused improvements for stellar-disbursement-platform-backend that improve reliability, onboarding, and maintainability. Key changes include: domain placeholder standardization across CloudFormation and Helm with Recaptcha/key updates; CloudFormation reorganization to a top-level directory and aligned deployment guides; README deployment doc simplification for network, database, keys stacks and Kubernetes/Helm flow. These changes reduce configuration drift, minimize deployment errors, and shorten time-to-prod for new environments. Demonstrated skills in IaC (CloudFormation, Helm), domain templating, and comprehensive documentation.

12 Commits • 5 Features
Jan 1, 2025January 2025 focused on establishing a scalable SDP deployment foundation on AWS, hardening security and secret management, and improving operability. Key outcomes include bootstrapping the SDP deployment infrastructure with CloudFormation for EKS, deprecating ECS/Bastion components to reduce maintenance surface, centralizing secret management and standardizing secret paths (including ReCAPTCHA and IAM policy updates), enabling AWS SNS-based SMS notifications with tenant onboarding guidance, and enhancing deployment documentation to streamline onboarding and operations. A maintenance fix reinstated the .gitignore to prevent accidental exposure of artifacts. These efforts deliver business value by speeding multi-environment deployments, reducing blast radius, improving security posture, enabling tenant onboarding, and improving operational reliability.
