 Defined automation roadmaps for the team. Worked with the teams to understand their needs and drove them towards continuous integration and delivery. Migrated over fifty applications to the DEVOPS standards which includes 100+ sub - applications Tracked the team activity through Jira. Defined Sprint stories for the team and ran standup calls for the teams to track their status. Managed the daily scrum calls and monthly sprint meetings Designed and developed application build jobs in Jenkins (Created jobs for Java, .Net and progress applications). Built and maintained the Jenkins server. Set up Jenkins server and installed Maven, ANT, SVN both in Linux and on a Windows server Worked and guided the team with Jenkins migration. Developed and maintained deploy jobs for application code deployment across all environments Developed deployment scripts for various applications in Mortgage Express Automated build and the deployment process. Worked with the testing teams to automate test cases as part of the post deployment action. Did Cucumber setup for testing automation SVN branch creation and maintenance and maintained the parallel branches for continuous delivery SVN to GITS migration. Defined Release cycle and communicated to all AD teams Coordinated and owned EVN sync-up activity Defined release timelines and coordinated the release from lower environment to production Designed suggestions to automate the deployment plan generation and release requests Reviewed build and deployed scripts created by the team. Maintained Black Duck scan reports and ensured the application code packages were not subject to vulnerability. Triaged the application issues and worked with the production support teams to provide solutions in a timely manner.
