PROFILE
Tom Faulhaber
Over eight months, contributed to the groundlight/edge-endpoint repository by building and refining edge deployment infrastructure with a focus on reliability, security, and automation. Developed features such as automated Docker image tagging and deployment workflows using AWS ECR, CI/CD, and GitHub Actions, and implemented GPU-enabled Kubernetes deployments with Helm and shell scripting. Addressed persistent volume mapping, DNS routing, and dependency management to reduce downtime and security risks. Enhanced Nginx configuration for SNI passthrough and streamlined edge startup by preloading Docker images on Balena devices. Work demonstrated depth in Kubernetes operations, containerization, and scripting, consistently improving deployment stability and maintainability.
