I design and implement infrastructure solutions for Disney Licensing. We work in close partnership with developers and the business with a DevOps mindset. We use automation tools to make build, deploy, test and promote easy with minimum downtime. We work with developers to adopt Continuous Integration practices and minimize time from commit-to-deploy. We work in a hybrid environment of on-prem hosting and public cloud at Azure, AWS and Google. My toolsets are git, jenkins, Rancher, Docker, Kubernetes, Websphere/Liberty Profile, Datadog, Elasticsearch, New Relic and others. All with a pinch of Pixie-Dust and Disney magic!
