This system processes change data and publishes it to an AWS SNS topic, compares the data with other systems of truth, and uploads the changes to another AWS SNS topic for validation. Updated and maintained Infrastructure as Code using Ansible and Jenkins build pipelines, developed Groovy DSL scripts to generate Jenkins pipelines and jobs. Responsible for automating detection of security vulnerabilities through the SourceClear and Veracode platforms. These scans are executed using Jenkins jobs integrated into project build pipelines. Responsible for cataloging functional details of all the APIs and microservices teams own and maintain and organizing it into a wiki so developers can find existing solutions that meet their requirements and avoid duplicating effort.

I have worked with the IT Help Desk, regional plant managers, and Quality Assurance to resolve reported issues with the electronic catalogs for those regions and worked to create and validate new electronic catalogs to be used by customers in the Southeastern United States.I have also created specific tools for the catalog developers to use, like a program to make changes to master pricing files (25000+ line Excel tables) through certain columns.
