I manage the risks associated with releasing both products and content to the world

* Active quality and release advisor in Scrum (Agile) Development Process to many next-generation Proofpoint products specifically revolving around Proofpoint Cloud Infrastructure. This includes identifying product risks and focusing appropriate engineering resources to high-risk & high-impact areas.* Administrator for some of the release engineering resources (e.g. Gitosis, Crucible, and Gem Server) * Responsibility and accountability in multiple roles in an Agile release process depending on the needs of the product. This is in order to shepherd the product/feature into the hands of the customer with the highest degree of quality * Development of various environment verification tooling including an on-demand configuration and binary diff’ing tool across all engineering and production environments * Architect, Developer, and Product Manager of a ruby-based testing framework (RESTest). Designed from the ground-up, the tool directly addresses service-interdependency in a complex, highly redundant, and highly scalable cloud environment. The core philosophy behind the framework is “write once...test everything! Everywhere!”; it accomplishes this using crowd-sourcing techniques across many engineering teams. * Experience with developing deployment artifacts in a Unix environment though the use of rpm’s + puppet + roles + configuration management system * Setup of Continuous Integration environments, which auto-deploys all development binaries and runs functional regression against all API’s through the use of Jenkins; thus providing immediate feedback to the team when the build/environment was broken. * Selected as one of the company’s Security “Paranoids”, tasked with encouraging, advising, and testing against common and uncommon security exploits * Experience taking a product built from ground-up all the way to production * Offshore resource management of a QA team based in Chandigarh, India

* Senior Member of QA Team* Managed and maintained properties and environments throughout the entire Ning infrastructure. This included baselining environments to production to ensure that environments were EXACTLY to production standards before introducing next release’s code.* Introduced formal release processes to the team to ensure high QA standards for frontend, platform, and performance teams.* Learned and developed quick shell scripting guidelines for platform testing. This was then passed on to new test engineers as a training tool to learn how to test Web Services.* Designed simple yet effective environment verification tool for both QA environments and post-production deployment check.* Designed environment "snapshot" tool capable of quick automated deployments of core Ning services.* QA Lead for several features and services still available on the Ning social networking platform. This includes but not limited to the following: Internal webserver caching, internal and external messaging, google opensocial, search, geolocation, and binary content storage/retrieval/update/removal.* Identified QA inefficiencies and designed tools and processes to either maintain or increase quality standards* Technical lead/mentor to other QA engineers* Architected and built backend Web Service automation testing framework using Perl and LWP libraries* Architected and built frontend automation testing framework using Selenium IDE/RC/Grid (Written in Perl). In addition, helped bring up a QA "farm" of different operating systems and browsers.* Built central automated QA test execution and reporting center, which provided a central area for both the frontend and backend service testing, as well as execution of other QA scripts.* Promoter of simple yet efficient QA processes and tools to better enable QA engineers* Proficient in testing web-2.0 and related technologies (e.g. AJAX, Javascript, PHP)

* Primarily in charge of Performance Testing using Grinder3* Advanced script building using Java and Python* Development of utilities and auto-deploy scripts using Ant and perl.* Assisting in all QA efforts throughout the company* Installing, configuring, and testing of client environments* Involved in Automation framework development and discussion using QTP* Script writing in VB for QTP (QuickTestPro)* Installation and testing of complex appserver/webserver environments, including SSL/Non-SSL, clustered, Single-Sign-On, LDAP, and Active Directory.

* Wrote backend services for a J2EE product* Writing of JUnit tests* Development work using EJB and Hibernate Framework

* Management of both onshore and offshore QA engineers on a project* Develop testing strategy for full QA cycle* Created automated installation and testing of the product* White-box testing of J2EE product* ERP Integration testing with SAP

Automation framework and script development using perl and ant, white-box testing of J2EE product, ERP integration testing (i.e. SAP)* Install and configure Contract Management software on server machines* Assisting in leading offshore QA resources* Automation framework and script development using perl and ant* White-box testing of J2EE product* ERP Integration testing with SAP

* Install and configure Contract Management software on server machines* Develop Test Cases for Enterprise Software* Setup and install software under different environments (Unix & Windows)* Developed Load Testing/Concurrency application programs* Develop QA techniques, applications, and scripts for various I-many products* Develop automation scripts and tools to aid in automation of installation and testing.* Create reports that aid in the decision making for managers
