* Migrated applications from on-premise to AWS EKS Kubernetes clusters. * Wrote terraform scripts to provision infrastructure (ElasticSearch Service, EKS, S3 buckets, DynamoDB) in AWS. Terraform scripts included deploying batch jobs and applications using Helm charts.* Automated the weekly build and release converting free form Jenkins jobs, requiring manual input, into Jenkins DSL shared library. The automation cut the necessary branches, updated versions in property files and deployed to all environments, through production, with input approvals.* Using openssl, cert-manager, and external dns, automated spin up Kubernetes cluster that included a secure, external url for accessing the kubernetes dashboard. * Helped determine the AWS Roadmap for the department for 2020. * Updated Jenkinsfiles to include a security plugin to scan the image for vulnerabilities in order to pass security architecture review.* Updated our application to so that springboots logback appender for our non-audit logs would log to stdout while audit logs continue to log to separate location.

* Convert the existing build templates for applications build workflow into Jenkins DSL shared library. The pipeline builds each application in its own Docker container and which is then pushed to Artifactory. Promotion through each environment is done via pipeline using Ansible.* Onboard new applications / micro-services to our Jenkins DSL Pipeline * Responsible for updating the Jenkins instance from 1.65 to Jenkins 2.73 and keeping it and the plugins up to date.* Document general DevOps procedures and foster a collaborative culture.* Produce "How To" documentation for understanding and using the Jenkins DSL library * Assist development team in troubleshooting failed builds. Conduct root cause analysis in close collaboration with the development team.

* Continuously improved the CI/CD pipeline for building and deploying content to www.apple.com* Wrote Dockerfiles for images used in our Dockerized Jenkins build farm. * Pushed and tagged latest Docker images to the Artifactory repository * Wrote Jenkinsfiles and converted Jenkins jobs to pipeline as code using Jenkins DSL* Wrote shell scripts to perform automation of tasks for promoting files through the pipeline* Updated apache configuration files for fallbacks, aliases and rewrite rules* Debugged build output of Node.js, handlebars and javascript code* Administered Jenkins user roles and authorization, plugin installations and end-to-end job setup* Helped establish the front end developer’s build and merge strategy in Github.* Troubleshoot QA environment failures

Manage six environments and the release schedule for more than 40 Web sites. The environments utilize an Oracle Application Server and J2EE code.Perform and debug builds to all non-production environments using Apache AntSet up new silos for Dev and QAUpdate the build script when as needed Instituted the Change Control Board and run bi-weekly meetingsAdministrator of the Subversion version control toolTrack defects for production releaseTrack code modules' major, minor, maintenance, and patch releases.Document CCB, environment setup and branching process Document all build related issues.Train developers on process and Subversion utilizationEstablish code baseline by performing merges of code and configuration files to our baseline environmentIdentify the development and QA silo to be used for each release. Ensure that the proper baselined code is loaded in the silo before the project begins.Assist with customizing the standard build process for each release. Verify that the technology staff is following process standards.Approve and implement branches in the source code repository.Approve and implement integration of new software releases into the baseline code and into specific environments.Plan the sequence and contents of software releases to minimize contention in environments and the code base during parallel development.Recommend and implement Software Configuration Management best practices.Ensure that all environments are kept in sync so that test results are consistent throughout Automate the build process using Cruise Control

Software developer on a rich client distributed Java application that performed OTAR (over the air rekeying) on subscriber radios. The application was a standalone client that used an Oracle database and JBoss server.Utilizing Java Swing's MVC architecture to work on the front end GUI, implemented features utilizing: collections, tables, CRUD, layouts and various JComponents (i.e. buttons, text fields . ). Developed code for the Swing GUI down through the data retrieval classes.Worked on several bug fixes ranging from cosmetic issues to out of memory errors due to garbage collection.Attended peer code reviews and followed the code review process for submitting code to the main branchUpdate development, release and defect configuration specs in ClearCase after each release and build.Write release notes for resolved defects. Update the configuration management document as needed.Write engineering notes, requirements and test plans for new features.Integrate and unit test code.

Successfully developed software on a feature-by-feature basis for the console application processor of console positions. Write engineering notes, requirements and test plans for new features.Ported code from the console operator interface module main board to C language.Developed a GUI tool using C++ and MFC to simulate packets being sent from the console application processor to the zone controller.Wrote API documents for 3rd party vendor.Integrate and unit test code.Attend formal technical reviews.Manage defects using DDTS tool.
