AI has helped me break through procrastination by taking care of tedious tasks that beforehand had a low ROI (boilerplate, CI/CD configs, test coverage, shell scripting/automation).

- create unit tests and benchmark tests that required lots of boiler plate , fixtures

- add CI / CD to a few projects that I didn't have motivation to

- freshen up old projects to modern standards (testing, CI / CD, update deps, migrations/deprecations)

- add monitoring / alerting to 2 projects that I had been neglecting. One was a custom DNS config uptime monitor.

- automated backup tools along with scripts for verifying recovery procedure.

- moderate migrations for deprecated APIs and refactors within cli and REST API services

- auditing GCP project resources for billing and security breaches

- frontend, backend and offline tiers for cloud storage management app
