Problem
- Builds ran on laptops and were not reproducible.
- Tests were skipped under deadline pressure.
- Production promotion was manual and risky, so releases bunched up.
What I did
- Dockerised builds with layer caching so every build is identical and fast.
- Automated test gates that block a release instead of relying on memory.
- Zero-touch promotion from staging to production.
Outcome
- Deployment cycles went from days to hours.
- Releases became small and routine instead of rare events.
