Worked on expanding the RNA sequencing workflow tooling in the uc-cdis/gen3-gitops repository by enhancing Docker image whitelisting. This feature allowed a broader range of containerized bioinformatics tools to be used within the workflow, streamlining environment setup and improving reproducibility for scientific users. The approach centered on updating YAML configuration files to include additional Docker images, integrating these changes with existing GitOps deployment processes. Leveraged skills in bioinformatics, containerization, and DevOps to ensure seamless collaboration and deployment. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with the primary focus on delivering this targeted workflow enhancement for the project.
