PROFILE

Rita Macedo

Worked extensively on the qub-it/fenixedu-oss-dependency-management repository, focusing on systematic dependency management and software maintenance across multiple modules. Over seven months, delivered a series of targeted upgrades to core academic libraries and extensions, using Java, Maven, and XML to ensure stability, security, and compatibility for downstream consumers. Each upgrade was validated through build and test pipelines, with clear commit histories and documentation to support traceability and future audits. The approach emphasized reducing technical debt, aligning with the latest library releases, and maintaining a strong security posture, enabling smoother integrations and preparing the codebase for ongoing feature development and maintenance.
