PROFILE
Joe Roberts
Worked on the alphagov/pay-ci repository to deliver robust CI/CD pipeline enhancements, focusing on reliability, security, and maintainability. Over five months, built and optimized automated deployment workflows, improved logging infrastructure using AWS and Terraform, and enabled Node.js 22 support through Dockerfile and pipeline configuration updates. Addressed supply chain security by refining SBOM export scripts with Shell and YAML, and ensured compatibility with Concourse 8.x by updating Fly CLI integrity checks. Migrated Slack notification channels to align with evolving alerting requirements, demonstrating attention to operational detail. The work emphasized Infrastructure as Code, containerization, and proactive maintenance to support evolving cloud environments.
