During a two-month period, Ryan Yao developed and optimized deployment workflows for the rit-sse/WebsiteTheSSEquel repository, focusing on Docker containerization and CI/CD automation. He introduced a multi-stage Dockerfile using Dockerfile and YAML, enabling reproducible production builds and secure, non-root deployments. Ryan enhanced the Next.js application by streamlining artifact handling, configuring environment variables, and optimizing image size. He also improved build privacy and reliability by disabling telemetry and enforcing standalone output. Additional work included refining GitHub Actions workflows, cleaning up unused database dependencies, and fixing asynchronous logic in React useEffect hooks, demonstrating depth in DevOps, configuration management, and front-end development.
