Thomas Cederholm developed and maintained CI/CD automation and security tooling across the extenda/actions, extenda/shared-workflows, and extenda/hiiretail-json-schema-registry repositories. He built a GitHub Action for automated ZAP API security scanning, integrating it into CI pipelines to improve vulnerability detection and reduce manual testing. Using YAML, JavaScript, and Docker, Thomas enhanced security rule reporting, streamlined dependency management, and updated workflow components for better reliability and maintainability. He also contributed to data modeling by evolving JSON schema definitions to improve data integrity and compliance. His work demonstrated depth in DevOps, configuration management, and schema development, addressing both security and operational efficiency.

September 2025: Delivered CI/CD workflow improvements in the extenda/shared-workflows repository by upgrading GitHub Actions dependencies to the latest stable versions for actions/checkout and actions/setup-java. This enhances security, features, and performance across the shared workflow definitions and reduces maintenance overhead.
