Satisfy and feed my growing thirst for knowledge, understanding, and constant improvement. I participate as a team member within a squad of developers to understand the environment, challenge the status quo, and automate everything. Through play, practice, and repetition, we improve on our ability to deliver more quickly. Some of the goals that I’ve enjoyed being a part of include:Planning and execution to migrate 1000+ servers from a private data center into AWS.a. Research applications within responsibility of our squadb. Understand applications and dependenciesc. Develop and challenge migration pland. Identify applications that will require a rewrite or new technologye. Identify dependencies and prioritize accordingly.f. Be a catalyst for cultural changes that are required for migration to a stateless and reproducible architectureResearch, plan, and execute on a plan for migration to Elasticsearcha. Participate in architectural layout of requirement infrastructureb. Develop ES best practices to include in a build processc. Create a reproducible infrastructure as code that can be used to solve my teams challenges while abstracting the solution so it can be re-useable in other squads.d. Performance/load testing to size properly. Understand performance for various workloads- use this information to improve the build process.Improve on our speed and ability to move/deliver new software and datasets through a delivery pipelinea. Develop strategy and process around A/B or Blue/Green deploymentsb. Creation of tools to implement push-button deploymentsc. Jenkins jobs for everything to make developers’ lives easierd. Work toward creation of CI/CD pipeline4. Automate, Automate, Automatea. End goal is to require as little human interaction as possibleb. Develop automated implementation related testing mechanisms. c. Advocate for TDD (test driven development) methodologies to be adopted within traditional operations.
