Ontology was an early entrant AI startup that used semantic technology (RDF4J) with Apache Lucene search to classify, reason over and link up complex data from telecommunications networks. Using data all the way from device configurations through Network Management Systems (NMS) and provisioning systems to customer billing and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Linking the data in this way gave clear insights to the revenue assurance teams who were looking for unbilled services and unused circuits. It also gave the change management and fault teams a way of relating the network to customers so they could ensure Service Level Agreements were being met.I developed Java 8 fitnesse fixtures for test automation I developed Java 8 Selenium 2.5 test framework for test automationI developed Vagrant (utility for managing the lifecycle of virtual machines) configurations I wrote ant scripts to do build tasks I configured Jenkins to do Continuous Integration of builds and tests I ported 20,000 java unit tests from Mockito 1.10.19 to 2.8 I wrote data conversion scripts in Python I used both SVN and GIT for source control I wrote Groovy scripts to test embedded Groovy engine I wrote Jython scripts to test embedded Jython engine I analysed memory leaks with Eclipse Memory Analyzer I found security issues with OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) I built workload models of User and API profiles for performance testing I wrote queries to query over graph stores and SQL databases

I built a delivery team to configure and supply Ontology Platform for various projects in the; UK, Denmark, Portugal and South Africa. All projects were delivered using Agile Scrum in 2 week sprints. I was the scrum master on many of the projects. I mentored team members to enable them to build better solutions. I attended meetings with our clients to work through issues in project delivery. I supported the pre-sales and sales team to help them propose solutions to clients. I made sure to understand the "why" behind client requests and worked with my team, developers and the client to deliver the best solution. I had to literally discover connections in dispirit systems to build complex network topology.
