During May 2025, I focused on documenting alignment with the External Secrets API. Deliverable: a doc-only update to align API version from v1beta to v1 for resource kinds such as SecretStore and ExternalSecret in the external-secrets/external-secrets repo. The change references commit 6deca4a6af37f17a4d7c76c091a130564b658db3 and PR #4757. Rationale: ensure docs reflect the latest API version to prevent misconfigurations and support-edge cases during upgrades. Impact: no runtime changes; improved developer experience and reduced onboarding friction. Skills demonstrated: technical writing, API versioning discipline, contributor collaboration, and documentation tooling usage.
