Worked as a DevSecOps team member to produce automation to provide automated pipelines to not only create base images but to be able to reduce the time to spin up a big data instance from 4.5 hours to 40 minutesPioneered the institution of automated scans so that a STIG’ed image could be produced and used across the entire companyWe have championed our.

Solution Architect on a high compute Azure project. Was responsible for identifying potential performance sues that would effect to user experience. Was designing a log management system and service reliability checks.

Palo Alto, CA, US

Worked with Azure CLI to produce Azure infrastructure that not only was reproducible but could be shared across business groups was able in a 2-week windowUsed Ansible, Docker, Ambari and Python Scripting to reproduce software stacks automating tasks that once took a month or more to installing the software in less than 2 working daysWorked with internal.

• As a team lead, I trained incoming members with a high-level overview of the product.
• Coordinated with a technical writer to document the team's internal knowledge and provided self-service how-to guides.
• Brainstormed and developed innovative solutions with other team developers to better facilitate our processes.
• Improved the automated testing process to include checking for versions and back end services to isolate the problem with the infrastructure vs. appliance testing
• Invented a new automated performance capturing system that would read better system metrics and isolated a major bug in the appliance. Also, created a better stepping performance generation system and the two systems.

• Used Python to use Amazon Cloud Formation to automatically deploy testable and repeatable environment. This includes all aspects of network security in an automated fashion.
• Designed the quality strategy for a group of 11+ engineers
• Created a test framework to assess the integration of software integrity, which replaces a simple query that only checked for correct setup in CHEF, the infrastructure automation tool.
• Fixed 85% of migration issues by automating a test framework that validated the systems and resulted in the team to finishing 5 weeks before the go live date.
• Increased performance metrics by 350% of the intrusion detection system (IDS)
• Decreased loss of work time to less than 1% due to build system down time by creating a multiple repository system allowing developers to have a separate system for test builds

Buffalo, New York, US

• Work with a worldwide engineering team designing and maintaining build and automated testing environments
• Enhanced the automated testing platform by moving it to a centralized file server, improving system logging, and providing better NTSF mounting options which increased the system reliability and reduced human.
• Automated the bug reporting system metrics to generate a report in 10 minutes and eliminate a manual two hour task

San Jose, California, US

• Conducted daily maintenance of 13 different build environments (6 Unix and 5 Windows) to assure reliability, space management and overall health of the environment
• Created Python and PERL scripts to automate Windows and Unix builds including cleaning build space and making repeatable build environments
• Used Imake and Make to build releases
• Wrote the new Install Builder bill of materials system which allows the build team to develop an installation protocol based on component build trees. This would then allow customers to create their own installation.
• Developed an automated reporting system with immediate notification to the engineers to facilitate correction of issues
• Studied how to move the non-continuous build environment in a continuous space. Included moving a 3rd party library to a build On Demand system

Fremont, California, US

• Established and manage an engineering change order (ECO) process.
• Responsible for the release process of a complex system that includes Windows-based software, embedded software and hardware. Worked with distributed and interdisciplinary teams on alpha and beta test phases. Drove the.
• Designed test cases and maintained the test matrix. Identified issues and worked with the engineers to resolve them.
• Virtualized the test environment to speed up testing in multiple OS environments and to allow testing against a clean machine during each test cycle.
• Reviewed available operating systems for software and database viability. Determined cost of adding operating system support in terms of impact to operations department and test schedule.
• Created and maintained the test lab. Designed and implemented specialized test hardware for verifying of embedded software.
