Deployment Automation & Security Scanning Scripts
Built Python, Groovy, and Jenkins declarative pipeline automation integrated with Jira to streamline build and deployment workflows, including automated tests and security scans.
Manual build and deployment steps at a previous client were error-prone and hard to audit, particularly for a government contract where security scanning had to be provable, not just performed. I wrote automation scripts in Python and Groovy, expressed as Jenkins declarative pipelines, to standardize the build-to-deploy path.
The pipelines integrated with Jira so that automated test runs and security scans were tied directly to the ticket driving the change, giving reviewers and auditors a clear record of what was tested and scanned before a deployment went out.
This closed the gap between "the pipeline ran" and "the pipeline ran the right checks for this change," which mattered for both release velocity and compliance sign-off.
