Spring 2020:Transferred to Santana, a greenfield platform project to unify backend processing across all products. The code in this project is much less centrally-managed, so responsibilities tended towards setting and enforcing policies, managing shared infrastructure, and owning integration processes. Hosted test environments for developers, and often served as de-facto Tier 1 support for integration-related problems. Code and pipelines are hosted in Azure DevOps, with the infrastructure hosted entirely in Azure in a private cloud. We used Azure Kubernetes Service clusters to host development-critical tools such as Sonarqube, and used Azure Kubernetes Service Edge Essentials clusters to host the product itself.Spring 2018:Expanded responsibilities to improve CI/CD pipelines for more products, Mosaiq (written in C# and Clarion) and Equator, with a mandate to modernize the legacy automation workflows and move the infrastructure to the cloud. Gradually transitioned to acting as an Agile Product Owner for the development team.Spring 2016 - Spring 2018:Created and maintained a continuous integration/continuous deployment pipeline for Monaco. The pipeline itself is built in Jenkins with a combination of batch/PowerShell/Groovy scripts, and deploys to VMWare VMs, running UI tests with a proprietary tool based off the Robot framework.
