Top SchoolOliver Rivett-carnac is a Lead Software Engineer based in Durban with over a decade of hands-on experience building and operating production systems across frontend, backend, cloud and DevOps. He has driven large architectural shifts—most notably migrating legacy stateful platforms to HTTP/JSON microservices and creating core security, configuration and monitoring libraries used company-wide. At Derivco he helped introduce Terraform-backed Azure infrastructure and led an AI/ML team to deliver a production data platform for ETL, governance and model democratization. Now leading Wootware’s entire software stack, he blends strategic infrastructure ownership (AWS, networking, security) with day-to-day engineering and SaaS delivery. An advocate for pragmatic open-source contributions, he has also improved responsive UI tooling by adding theming and configurable features to a widely used table plugin.

Contributions summary:Oliver implemented and refined a striping feature for the responsive table plugin. They initially added the striping functionality with JavaScript, including an initial setup and implementation to color the rows. They then added and reverted CSS styling for the striped rows and later added the striping colors to LESS files, likely to support theming. Finally, they added documentation and allowed disabling the striping feature.
