[Built the repository's guard engine — 268 registered commit checks, 277 lint rules and 15 custom ESLint rules — plus 146 tests of the guards themselves, so the build holds the standard, not review.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-the-repository-s-guard-engine-of-268-checks-95/) -

[Established a continuous security programme — code scanning, DAST, dependency and vulnerability checks, SBOM generation, secret scanning and SHA‑pinned actions — alongside 21 written security audits.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/established-a-continuous-security-programme-104/) - [Built the company's own infrastructure as 19 Ansible playbooks and 34 roles across 12,065 lines of YAML, converging a live host to a declared state with every play idempotent.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-the-companys-infrastructure-as-code-108/) - [Made check mode tell the truth across the whole platform after finding six probes deciding on a value the host never gave, because Ansible's command module reports success under --check while skipping the command entirely.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/made-ansible-check-mode-tell-the-truth-116/) - [Added a preflight play that runs the same code as the converge against operator‑local secrets in about a second, after a half‑applied production run died on its ninth task with the swap settings already written to the live host.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/added-a-preflight-play-for-secrets-117/) - [Deployed the company's own git forge on Soft Serve, private by default with no web panel and its SSH port bound to loopback behind a jump host, and made the landing page in front of it a build artefact of the main site rather than a hand‑kept copy.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/deployed-the-companys-own-git-forge-121/) - [Deployed a container plane on Podman and Quadlet under systemd rather than Docker, because Docker publishes container ports above the host firewall's own rules — and gave deploys an unprivileged user with one fixed command instead of root.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/deployed-a-container-plane-on-podman-and-quadlet-122/) - [Built a commit gate of 22 one‑line linters plus four that earn a paragraph, with no warning tier and no inline suppressions permitted, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, YAML, Markdown, shell, links, spelling, secrets and typography.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-a-22-linter-commit-gate-127/) -

[Brought 10,242 lines of quality‑gate JavaScript under a formatter and a linter after establishing it was the largest body of code in the repository and the only one nothing read, fixing 13 findings and suppressing none.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/brought-the-quality-gate-code-under-a-linter-143/) -

[Selected every rule the Python linter has as an error, working through 1,815 findings to reach zero, with each of the few exemptions carrying a written reason and two of them backed by a checker instead of a comment.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/enabled-every-python-linter-rule-as-an-error-147/) - [Wrote tests for the checkers themselves after establishing that a checker fed only clean input will one day report clean because it read nothing — planting a misspelling to confirm the spell‑check finds it, and taking an id range from the database rather than from a number in the test.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/wrote-tests-for-the-checkers-themselves-149/) - [Found the commit hooks and the quality gate running different checks while a document promised they were the same, by comparing the two lists in a test — the five that only ever ran by hand were the ones reading the CV prose.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/found-the-commit-hooks-and-the-gate-disagreeing-150/) - [Rehearsed the forge‑side CI hook and found two defects unreachable by reading the file: a fallback that put an unresolvable argument on the hook's input, and git's own environment variable following the gate into the checkout and turning 19 tests red.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/rehearsed-the-forge-side-ci-hook-151/) - [Wrote a parser that reads the real 7,308‑line C header and verifies every call site, every enum constant and that every pointer‑owning class is final, after a hand‑written placeholder header let calls to three removed functions compile, link and crash.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/wrote-a-parser-that-verifies-every-ffi-call-site-157/) - [Took the test suite from six tests over a sixty‑second limit to 135 passing in 8.9 seconds by profiling the main thread and removing the two calls it sat inside for 3,989 samples out of 4,017.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/took-the-test-suite-under-nine-seconds-158/) - [Reached the half of the messaging core the application had never used — backup transfer, disappearing messages, message editing and resending, verified invitations, proxies and encryption policy — driving every test against the real library with no mocks.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/reached-the-unused-half-of-the-messaging-core-161/) - [Audited 644 Rust crates for licence compatibility on every build, and proved the check fires by rewriting one crate's licence and by moving the pinned core revision without regenerating.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/audited-644-rust-crates-for-licence-compatibility-163/) - [Held four repositories to one history standard — conventional, emoji‑free, no attribution trailers, enforced by a commit‑message hook — alongside 46 instruction documents that govern how the work is done.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/held-five-repositories-to-one-history-standard-165/)
