These products are designed to help development engineers and support personnel (TAC and Advanced Services) to quickly search and access Cisco product source code. We have indexed over 1000 releases of software which is more than 20 billion lines of code. Searches for strings or code snippets across the entire index average less than 20 seconds. The search engine is based on Apache Lucene and proprietary technology. The main goals of these products are to:• Improve software quality by eliminating defects that slip back into the code for various reasons• Improve customer satisfaction by more accurately reporting where defects exist or where they are fixed in the many releases available• Increase productivity by reducing timely and repetitive man hours required to do the same kind of search with legacy tools• Create better visibility of products by making available an easy to use code search tool for anyone that has access (especially support engineers)As Technical Product Manager I have a multitude of roles. Here are some highlights:• Define short and long term vision • Gather and consolidate user requirements • Prototype and define system architecture• Attend daily Scrum meeting as Product Owner role• Accept completed user stories• Responsible for internal marketing (demos, presentations, screencasts, web/mail content)• Create Mockup screens (using Balsamiq Mockups)• Define Restful API interface• Monitor usage and other stats using Splunk Show less
