Most recently I have been working on stating and transitioning a Production Support team for a new product that utilizes AWS Quicksight. It integrates to our main application GuardianAnytime.com and uses our backend Data Lake/Data Bricks to render data and charted reports. As of right now only one division has reports but we have about 4k users already.

I also am an escalation point for all matters relating to the application that are not able to be resolved by others. My long experience with the application has given me a full perspective and ability to find and solve issues quickly. Troubleshooting may involve SQL Queries, searching logs in tools like Splunk or on the server, evaluating issues in Appdynamics, or working with different teams to investigate details. I have also been involved in much of the evolution of the application as we migrate into AWS, containerize the application for AWS and add needed ENV’s and components as we begin to utilize the REST API abilities in the application. My exposure to code and repositories has allowed me to make trusted changes in the code in Bitbucket and work with the Agile Trains to get those changes into the pipeline. Show less

Primary responsibilities are the setup and client communication for Managed File Transfer configurations and troubleshooting/support.

After moving to Guardian I was the main coordinator for the migration of all 300+ connections to the new standard platform and the network and permissions that went with it. This application was Linux based and I had to learn how to navigate to do certain investigations. Because of this exposure I was able to work a new team on a process to automate some Disaster Recovery (DR) processes that were broken. Was able to enhance the Linux BASH Script to have breaks, and reports to show progress for each item and added several spots of error handling without any understanding of BASH scripting at the beginning. I also learned and created a Python Script to run against the FTP system to evaluate the validity of certain certificates that were used for encryption and authentication in the SFTP process. It then takes this information, formats the data and sends an HTML email notifying the team of upcoming expirations so that renewal activities can be planned. I also maintained a strong support role for the leave of absence application (LeavePro) and the other areas that I was responsible for even though they had been moved to other teams because of my expertise. I trained and maintained those relationships as an escalation point if needed. I supported the migration of automated tasks to a new and different enterprise scheduler and worked with development teams to create the equivalent scripts that were being used.As part of this team I supported the effort to migrate the entire leave of absence application (LeavePro) in all of its environments and implementations from the data center to AWS. This was about 25 ENV with about 7-10 servers each. Show less

There was no active manager over our team so I was asked to stand in as an Acting Manager. As the most experienced member I unofficially took over the role of Team Lead and Acting Manager for work delegation and review, and training. I reported directly to the VP of Technology.

This includes most of the activities listed below for previous position.• Interviewed all departments and planned out the timelines and development of processes that could be automated to provide higher efficiencies company wide.Continuing to develop solutions for various areas of responsibility mentioned in the previous position (SSO, FTP, etc). I continued to hone and enhance the processes and further standardized code, scheduling, reporting, and alerting, as part of a migration to an enterprise workflow management tool with over 600 operations and 100,000 executions per month. I also worked to establish Monitoring and Alerting standards that are still in use today. I worked closely with external teams to migrate these monitoring points and Alerts to the new standards at Guardian and trained others on the intricacies I had learned over the years that went into each. Many of these designs and training were in collaboration with off-shore teams of many levels. Show less

This includes file movement and application monitoring. This is very exciting to be able to rebuild processes that seems to be spread out all over the place in location and in technologies and bring a common structure that has been built based on the experience that we have gained over the years. This is still a new position so the details are still being worked out so a better description to come. Show less

My responsibilities are to Install/Upgrade/Support/Troubleshoot issues in the systems by reviewing System and Machine Event logs and DB Settings to resolve issues that arise. I have automated many of the manual tasks and monitoring using the tools within the system that were underutilized or used scripting like Power Shell. We use TFS2010 and VS2010 as the content management software and source control. My group is also in charge of running builds and maintaining the build server. I was put in charge of building the remote environments for the biggest client of this company to date. After doing so I successfully turned the environment over to a colleague and became a overall troubleshooter to cover all projects. I set a new standard and template during the implementation that is used today and has proven to be highly effective.
