I managed a technical team which was responsible for the entire end to end project life cycle of new open source applications and systems. All the systems focused on open source so technology like GlusterFS, RHEL, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, Alfresco. 1) Worked with Functional and Offshore delivery teams to make sure the non-functionalbusiness requirements for projects are met by each individual solution.2) Review and estimations of the hardware requirements that would… Show more I managed a technical team which was responsible for the entire end to end project life cycle of new open source applications and systems. All the systems focused on open source so technology like GlusterFS, RHEL, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, Alfresco. 1) Worked with Functional and Offshore delivery teams to make sure the non-functionalbusiness requirements for projects are met by each individual solution.2) Review and estimations of the hardware requirements that would need to be purchased to facilitate thedeployment of the application to the client site e.g. SAN Storage, RAM upgrades.3) Creating Technical Designs which ensure all the non-functional requirements are met and also that there is a complete holistic view of the application architecture and the environment that hosts it. Areas which include security, infrastructure, networks, database and End User Client were covered as part of this.4) Knowledge transfer of the server setup, configuration and deployment procedures for the applications to the relevant resources. Daily checks and how to troubleshoot issues documented for the Support teams.5) Design of a Data Migration approach to allow legacy data from the old system to be transferred into the new Document and Content management system.6) SME on the functionality and technical architecture of ElasticSearch search engine, GlusterFS storage system and Alfresco ECM solution7) Managing the team responsible for the configuration and build of the environments for each system.8) Review the infrastructure requirements proposed by Offshore Teams (India) and provide feedback9) Manage the technical test strategy for each of the systems, covering areas such as backup/recovery and resiliency.
