Worked on automation, metrics, and deployment tooling for the SER516_Spring25_Teams_3_and_4_Backend and Frontend repositories, focusing on reducing manual processes and improving release reliability. Developed Renovate Bot configuration for automated dependency updates, and implemented a Repository Metrics Middleware in Java and Python to enable repository cloning and metrics collection. Established CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and Docker to automate image publishing, including version tagging and controlled deployment for specific images. Added a RepoFetcher utility for secure repository validation and cloning. Enhanced frontend deployment with a Docker image publish workflow, supporting both push events and manual version-triggered releases for consistency.
