Real problems I solved:
- ISP blocking Docker Hub pulls → used
az acr importto mirror images via Azure - Reactive threading crash in Spring AI → fixed with
Mono.fromCallable+boundedElasticscheduler - Exposed API key committed to git → scrubbed with
git filter-repo - Empty vector store responses → diagnosed embedding model mismatch, corrected model config
epicbook-app — Full-stack Node.js/Express + MySQL + Nginx, containerised with multi-stage Docker builds. Image size: 2.12GB → 94MB.
epicbook-infra — Azure DevOps 4-stage CI/CD pipeline for EpicBook: Build → Test → Staging → Production with manual approval gate.
