This included custom software to cherry pick code changes based on Jira issues and stage release tags, setting up several Jenkins build servers, custom software to build installs, and web processes to document and notify field teams of software releases. Throughout the 7 years I worked with Carl, he was easy to work with and a dependable resource that the Engineering group could count on. When new processes or tools were needed, Carl was a quick learner and always gave relevant feedback on how they could be improved. Carl was good at communicating to Engineering the needs of his group, as well as being receptive to the needs of the Engineering group. During his tenure, we always strived to improve our processes. He did a great job of organizing the QC group to test and release software efficiently. In particular he ensured software was tested in a realistic fashion to how it would be used in the field; managing complex tests that required the coordination of many machines and data sources. Tests like these can be particularly onerous given the tight schedules of the television industry, but Carl always made sure software got to the field on time in a well tested state. He was a key player in ensuring SMT delivered a quality product to its clients every week."
