Led the design and development of cutting-edge tools and services at the Rapid Development Team.The tools and services being built would help in predictable releases, better quality of shipped products, increased efficiency in development, and, making customers and engineers life better.Projects:1. Architected and developed a distributed Continuous Integration framework using a microservices architecture to perform Build, Test (Manual and Automated) and Integration for bug fixes. > Hands off approach to testing bugs. More bugs being verified and shipped.2. Software failure signature analysis by pattern matching> Resulted in an automated detection of failures. Helps in analyzing software failures 3-4x times faster.3. Scale testing through distributed parallel testing using OpenStack> Reduced a 43-hour testing job to 5 hours.4. Conceptualized a production-grade prototype to intelligently select test cases to run based on the code change.> Reduces testing times by 60-70%, helping in predictable and efficient release cycles.> Built the prototype in less than 36 hours and also won first place in the hackathon.5. Auto-mapping a source file to a component and team.> Helps in identifying the owners for the source code and the teams to associate bugs, service requests.
