Enhancing a Watir / ruby automated acceptance test suite and training colleagues in ruby.

Rewrote parts of the document conversion system to improve system reliability and stability. Incoming documents were converted to HTML5 and Flash, extracted text (with optical character recognition if required), storing the results on AWS S3. The conversion application ran on up to a thousand AWS ec2 nodes with automatic scaling and error recovery. Also packaged the core conversion technologies into an Amazon paid AMI for an Enterprise SDK product.Designed and implemented a script to… Show more Rewrote parts of the document conversion system to improve system reliability and stability.
