University of Tartu — deployment

Got a complex application running inside an institutional environment it wasn't built for — reconciling what the app expected with strict, pre-existing infrastructure constraints.

The problem

A complex site had to run inside the University's existing environment — one with its own policies, limits, and assumptions that the application simply didn't fit into out of the box.

What I did

Bridged the gap between what the app expected and what the environment allowed: containerised and adapted the deployment, worked around the platform's constraints, and got it running stably — without rewriting the application.

  • Containerised and adapted the deploy to the target environment
  • Resolved conflicts between app requirements and infra limits
  • Made it reproducible and stable, not a one-off manual fix

Outcome

The site went live in an environment that initially rejected it — running reliably within the University's constraints.
