I work across multiple SCM systems to provide automated solutions to product teams.I help my teams embrace more mature release processes, bringing the good stuff--reliability, repeatability, auditability--to their processes.I automated the production kernel release process, giving the kernel team the ability to go from infrequent, manually-intensive.

I'm the tools department at this startup. I handle SCM, bug tracking, build automation, various web sites, our wiki, and a large suite of developer-written tests, which I wrote the infrastructure for, and which I triage. In addition, I've written tools to interface all of these together, including a tool that automatically collects information every week.
