In both teams, we operate as a SAFe Essentials Agile environment, iterating every 2 weeks.*Notable Achievements*- Led the solutioning and development for a series of projects spearheaded by our Supply Chain teams to reduce millions of dollars of supply excess, alleviate gaps in forecasted repairs, and increase the efficiency of our demand planning. - Led the solutions architecture and design for a custom application to finalize the sunsetting of a mainframe in support of our engineering teams, ultimately saving $1m+ in mainframe costs while providing a much better solution, process, and user experience to our teams within ServiceNow.- Developed a custom Agent Workspace for use by the Aeronautics Desktop Support team who supports upwards of 20,000 end-users. This helps drive visibility and improvement of metrics such as mean time to resolve (MTTR) as well as increased technician efficiency by providing the data they need in a clear, concise, and accessible manner right on their homepage.- Developed Flow Actions for the Ansible Spoke in IntegrationHub. These were developed collaboratively with other teams to ensure ease of use and scalability so that the Enterprise Cloud Management team could implement them for automations supporting several thousand cloud servers.
