* Maintain and improve the Encompass Insurance and Allstate Canada Group (ACG) policy administration systems.* Integrated Python with C/C++. Our team created Python APIs around our C/C++ codebase, allowing application developers to write new code in Python, while still taking advantage of the highly optimized C/C++ functionality.* Porting legacy monolith into a Docker container that is deployed on Kubernetes.* Moved passwords from configuration files into CyberArk Credential Provider.* Consuming RESTful web services. Create APIs to export data residing in database (Oracle) tables into JSON and import JSON back into the database.* Enabling our platform to easily expose any Python function as a RESTful service or API via a Java Spring program running in Docker containers on Kubernetes. The program translates incoming HTTPS requests into the proprietary TCP/IP protocol required by the application server.* Fix various production crashes and bugs. Write automated regression tests to cover the bugs. As a result, my team almost never gets called up for production issues.* Writing APIs for integration with TIBCO EMS and Kafka queues and topics.* Integrating end-user sign-on process with Active Directory via LDAP calls and multi-factor authentication (MFA) via RADIUS.* Ported custom build, test, and deployment scripts for our legacy C/C++ product to Python so Jenkins can drive the build and release process. In one month, lead a team of six developers to write 3,000 lines of code with 200 unit test cases, achieving high code coverage. Created Jenkins builds using Pipeline as Code and Groovy.* Integrating error logging system to write key events to Splunk.* Wrote regression tests for the browser client using Selenium in Java and Python.

Created Python package to aid testing log files:https://pypi.org/project/logging-test-case/The most important thing I learned from this project is the importance of supporting multiple versions of Python.

Created "Block Build Final Project Plugin" for Jenkins:https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Block+Build+Final+Project+PluginBlock build when upstream/downstream project is building. Optional final projects may be given.The plugin is written in Java and is fully tested by unit and integration tests. This project provided many interesting challenges to overcome:* Learning the Jenkins codebase.* Learning the Jenkins integration test framework.* Getting the plugin officially on-boarded as a Jenkins plugin.

Software Development================* Received Bravo Award for early integration testing that facilitated product delivery two weeks ahead of schedule.* Wrote a multi-threaded object-oriented Perl program for a suite of regression tests that saved the company 24 staff months per year.* Created a Perl program for monitoring the health of a system that alerts customers of problems early to save time and money.* Instrumental in developing a C++ program for configuration, fault, and performance management of network computers. The program a) creates XML strings from information extracted from a large Informix database, b) sends messages to other computers using SNMP, and c) sends XML strings to configure Cisco routers over a CORBA interface.* Converted an existing single-threaded program with 50,000 lines of code to a multithreaded program that doubled the program’s throughput on a dual processor system. * Created a program that monitors and reports process downtime to customer that facilitated early error detection plus time and cost savings. Process Improvement================* Honored with a Quality Award for automating the software build and sanity test process, saving the company 6 staff months a year.* Authored a white paper on agile automated SCM process to maximize daily productivity.* Created a webpage to facilitate communication between U.S. and offshore teams that improved software build project delivery from 24 hours late to on-time delivery.Team Leadership=============* Collaborate with team of up to 100 offshore software development engineers to ensure software changes meet project deliverables.* Communicate best practices, technical processes, and company procedures to cross-functional team members to improve efficiencies and reduce time required to test newly developed software.* Aid peers in debugging core files and issues with shared memory and inter-process communication.
