PROFILE

Stephen Bradbury

Worked on the DFE-Digital/manage-free-school-projects repository, delivering a Docker-based development and deployment setup that improved environment reproducibility and operational reliability. Focused on containerization using Docker, Docker Compose, and ASP.NET Core, the work included refining environment settings, updating migration workflows, and consolidating Dockerfile configurations for both API and web components. Enhanced CI/CD pipelines by streamlining NuGet package restoration and implementing secure handling of credentials with environment variables, reducing configuration drift and credential leakage risk. Addressed build issues, improved documentation, and aligned database management practices with secret-management best practices, resulting in safer, more maintainable deployments across multiple environments using C# and YAML.

Month: 2025-10. Focused on delivering a Docker-based development and deployment setup for DFE-Digital/manage-free-school-projects, aligning the workflow with containerization and improved operational reliability. Implemented containerized development/deployment with Dockerfiles and docker-compose, refined environment settings, and addressed port, HTTPS, and path handling. Deprecated legacy database.config and synchronized data migration service naming with the Docker workflow. Resolved critical build issues (files not copying, project name arg) and refined Docker Compose usage. Updated onboarding and migration documentation to reflect the Docker-driven workflow, and implemented Sonar improvements for code quality. Overall, set the foundation for reproducible environments, faster iterations, and safer deployments.
