PROFILE
Temi
Temi Varghese engineered deployment automation and configuration management solutions for the AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install repository, focusing on reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Over six months, Temi delivered features such as MongoDB replica set deployments, Nginx proxy routing for reporting APIs, and enhanced geospatial filtering in Biocollect, using Ansible, Shell scripting, and YAML. By modernizing Ansible task orchestration and implementing robust artifact download workflows, Temi reduced deployment failures and manual intervention. The work included production-ready deployments with JWT authentication, improved data accessibility, and incident response measures, demonstrating a deep understanding of DevOps practices and system administration in complex, multi-environment infrastructures.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025: AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install — Delivered deployment modernization and stability improvements. Key features include migrating the profile-hub deployment tasks from include role to include_tasks, preserving existing behavior (setting facts, configuring Apache virtual hosts, and Tomcat deployment) to improve maintainability and reliability. In production, a safety-facing change temporarily disabled the ecodata log ownership task after a fatal error to prevent outages; this task will be re-enabled when safe. Overall impact: stronger deployment consistency, reduced operational risk, and faster onboarding for changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Ansible task orchestration with include_tasks, deployment automation, Apache virtual host configuration, Tomcat deployment, incident response and risk mitigation, and change management.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install focused on delivering data accessibility, enhanced geospatial filtering, and reliability improvements. Key work includes delivering a new reporting server endpoint to download all documents associated with a resource, expanding the Biocollect geographic selector with countries, electorates, and CMZ layers for finer filtering, and addressing a script reliability issue by ensuring reIndexAll.sh runs under bash. These efforts improve data accessibility, user experience for geospatial searches, and deployment reliability across environments, reducing manual workaround needs and enabling scalable data retrieval.

May 1, 2025May 2025 performance summary: Focused on making the Profiles Service production-ready and secure. Delivered deployment readiness for profiles on Ubuntu 24.04 with a MongoDB replica set, ensured the profile-service Ansible role is applied in production, and configured JWT authentication for the webservice. Integrated ECodata API key (uncommented) to enable secure downstream integrations. No major bugs reported this month. These changes improve deployment reliability, security, scalability, and time-to-production.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install: Delivered two key capabilities to improve reliability, scalability, and security of reporting and data services. Implemented an Nginx routing rule to proxy /reporting requests to a dedicated reporting server while preserving the original path and query parameters, enabling isolation of reporting workloads and easier maintenance. Reconfigured the Ansible-based deployment to run MongoDB as a replica set, updating host targeting, role inclusions, and primary server logic, with new replication, logging, security configurations and init scripts. These changes improve separation of concerns, data redundancy, and safer upgrade paths, aligning with our architecture goals. Major bugs fixed: None reported in April 2025.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 – AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install: Stabilized Biocollect deployment by implementing a curl-based artifact download workflow, adding redirect handling, and tightening defaults to ensure reliable, repeatable deployments of Biocollect. These changes reduce artifact fetch failures, improve PWA download reliability, and provide clearer configuration defaults for future deployments. This delivers measurable business value by lowering deployment toil and minimizing downtime during releases.
