Internally, we referred to my work as a glorified system administrator but a more accurate term today would be either DevOps or Site Reliability Engineer. It was my responsibility to support/deploy/upgrade/monitor the Linux hosting side of DST's Automated Workflow Distribution (AWD).On a daily basis I worked to maintain 1200+ JVM clusters over 500+ physical servers, configured virtual interfaces, maintained health of client environments, and performed Net New and/or staged rollouts.My most noted accomplishments while at DST: decreasing deployment time by 80% by automating the deployment steps via RPM builds and shell scripting; decreasing downtime from ten outages per week to ten per month, essentially eliminating the Linux side issues while responding only to database and application related faults.Languages/Technologies frequently used -- Bash, BladeLogic, RPM, Redhat, Java/JVM, Linux, IBM/DB2, MariaDB (MySQL)
