PROFILE

Zac Bowling

Zac Bowling enhanced build and release automation across several repositories, including modular/modular-community and BradLarson/max-recipes, by expanding build system coverage and improving CI/CD reliability. He introduced new MAX version support through YAML-driven configuration, enabling the CI pipeline to recognize and build additional variants while centralizing version management. In BradLarson/max-recipes, Zac stabilized workflows by pinning GitHub Actions SHAs, ensuring reproducible builds and reducing deployment risk. He also automated release processes using shell scripting and GitHub Actions, broadening tag matching and improving release note generation. His work demonstrated depth in configuration management, scripting, and package management, resulting in safer, faster releases.
