PROFILE

Zuzana Miklánková

Worked extensively on the envoyproxy/envoy-openssl repository, delivering features that enhanced TLS security, dynamic cryptographic capability discovery, and build environment standardization. Leveraged C, C++, and Python to replace hardcoded cipher and curve lists with OpenSSL API-driven runtime discovery, improving maintainability and accuracy as cryptographic standards evolved. Improved CI/CD automation and containerization for both envoyproxy/envoy-openssl and openshift/release, using Docker and GitHub Actions to streamline builds and deployments. Addressed Bash compatibility issues and clarified Kubernetes operator documentation in openshift-service-mesh/sail-operator, reducing misconfiguration risk. Demonstrated depth in low-level programming, DevOps, and security configuration, consistently focusing on reliability and maintainability.

In 2025-09, delivered OpenSSL/Envoy Docker Build Environment Standardization for envoyproxy/envoy-openssl. Externalized the builder image definition by reading ENVOY_BUILD_IMAGE from the GitHub Actions workflow, removed the inline Dockerfile, and simplified openssl/run_envoy_docker.sh to rely on the centralized builder image. This change improves build reproducibility, reduces pipeline drift, and simplifies maintenance, enabling faster onboarding and upgrades of the build stack.
