Pieter Polmans

Built a unified, pipeline-driven deployment framework for multiple APIs. Defined how APIs are built, packaged, and released with Docker images, version-controlled wrapper scripts, reusable GitLab CI templates, and robust packaging/service-definition tooling to ensure reliable installation, upgrades, and rollbacks across multi-node deployments.

Investigated and resolved an SD card formatting issue where the data partition failed to expand to the full card capacity due to a configuration mistake. Because the recovery environment lacked tooling to safely extend partitions, I implemented a runtime solution within the Yocto build that fetched required tooling and executed a self-extracting archive to extend the data partition safely. Added safeguards to prevent repeated destructive runs and to minimize disruption across updates.

Designed and implemented a unified API deployment framework enabling safe rollouts and rollbacks across multi-node deployments. Built Docker images for runtime and build dependencies, created versioned wrapper scripts for packaging, and templated GitLab CI pipelines to standardize deployments. Defined tooling for reliable installation and upgrades, ensuring consistency and reducing manual intervention across services.
