Responsibilities: • Managing a team of 2 engineers for the Build Team including 1 on 1s, vacations and performance reviews• Running team projects, consulting stakeholders, creating status reports and moving things forward• Running sprints, managing backlogs and retrospectives• Designing technical features for distributed systems in physical data centers and AWS• Developing features, reviewing pull requests and writing clean code in Golang and bash• Fixing infrastructure issues and part of the On-call rotationProjects:• Created a slackbot that automated the daily deploy, reducing a 22 manual step process into 5 commands through Slack. The program was written in Golang and used the Github and Slack APIs. The bot would communicate directly to the Deploy Lead throughout the process, would alert about errors and would walk them through the process. The tools saved 1 developer 4 hours per day.• Converted the CI/CD system from Bamboo to Jenkins. Created generic jenkins nodes that would run docker containers. The project resulted in a 30x increase in automation runs per day (from 10 to 300)• Containerized web calling service and migrated to AWS EC2
