Manage the Release Management Team, part of the DevOps Team. Control the configuration of in-house and vendor applications in the production/demo environments. Utilize Kanban agile methodologies to coordinate the daily activities of the team's members.Lead the Change Management control board meetings to for awareness and compliance of software, systems, and networking changes through the use of ITIL tools.Developed a Roadmap to Automation, meeting objectives with PowerShell scripts and a Jenkins deployment framework.Working closely with Development to bring best practices in terms of build automation and code structure to facilitate scripted deployments.

Instituted a paradigm shift in the release and data workflow of nearly every team within the company. Utilize tools commonplace within software build & release management to greatly increase overall company efficiency. Many teams that do not work directly with software development have benefited from these scripts, automation, and resource sharing techniques. Among these are R&D, Product Management, Reference Data, and Quality Assurance teams.Continuous Integration: Backbone of Hudson tied into Git and SVN code repositories, handle the automated builds of small and large development teams. C++, C#, F#, Java, Scala, Ruby, Perl all compiled/packaged on Linux, Windows, and Mac platformsRelease Management: Packaging, versioning, and archiving binaries in Nexus repository for deployments and auditingBuild Optimization: Incredibuild (Windows) & Distcc (Linux/Mac) utilized to speed up C++ code compilationsDatabase Version Control: Brought database changes under version control, utilizing a hybrid of DDL/DML statements stored in Git and executed via HudsonDeployment & Access Control: Hudson and custom scripts used in an "outside the box" solution provides strict access control on deployments to Production environment, as well as simplifying every deploy to single button pushes.Improvements: Developed parallel unittest wrapper scripts (bash) that produced an average 60% total test suite execution speed up across all build platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OSX).

Coordinate the entire release process from tagging and testing to delivery and archival. Work on successfully completing multi-million dollar Government program to completion with on-time, repeatable deliveries. Operate in CMMi Level 5 environment.Improve efficiency in the build & test process by automating CVS checkouts, builds, and testing. Created automated test suites in MPC for CodeComposer (DSP target), and in bash shell cygwin for Green Hills Software Multi (PowerPc 440GX target).Release Engineer, Software Configuration Management, Toolsmith, Server Administrator (Linux/Windows)
