Led InnerSource adoption that cut security-scanner setup from months to minutes

I guided an IT platform team off one-off pipelines and onto reusable GitHub workflows any product team could adopt, so wiring in the required security scanner became self-service.

months to minutes

time to wire a project to the required security scanner

What would have happened

Each product team would keep spending months wiring the mandatory security scanner into its pipeline by hand.

The call

Set a platform model where the platform team offers self-service workflows and product teams adopt them on their own.

What I did

Taught the team how platform teams serve product teams, guided it to build reusable workflows into the SaaS factory pipelines, and demonstrated a workflow that connects a project to the scanner in a few clicks.

What changed

What took months now takes minutes. My manager called it a vision that I implemented and sold to the teams, and those teams now build reusable workflows for everyone.

Proof

The original documents are held in my private record and can be shared on request.

What people said

“This wasn't just a "task"; this was a vision, an implementation of the vision, and a successful selling of the vision to teams that needed it to be sold to them for their own success.”
