5/2019 – 10/2023

- developed standards, conventions, processes, and pipelines around software development, delivery, and deployment, for web and mobile applications
- enabled code quality and code security enforcement through strict versioning, branching, naming conventions, test coverage, and code analysis (SAST, SCA)
- implemented innovative enterprise-grade Continuous Integration & Deployment pipelines using declarative pipelines that are highly integrated with other tools for code coverage, quality, and security scanning (SAST, SCA, DAST, IAST) to provide high quality feedback to developers
- increased development code and process quality through implementing an advanced local development and deployment environment to allow developers to easily develop and test locally before deploying anywhere
- implemented an advanced deployment rollback pipeline that supports Liquibase rollbacks in any form of container deployment
- ensured that pipelines are enforced top-down onto development teams, are easily configurable, but not modifiable, by developers, to ensure organizational audit requirements are met and still developer-friendly
- integrated all tools relevant for development and deployment (Jenkins, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, Maven, Gradle, Java, Android, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Consul, HashiCorp Vault, JFrog Artifactory, Sonatype Nexus, SonarSource SonarQube, Atlassian Jira & Confluence, Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud & Twistlock)
- documented effective usage of pipelines, tools and their configurations to maximize productivity, quality, and developer satisfaction compatible with local development and enterprise software pipelines
- modernized legacy application architecture and software development process across the entire organization, specializing in producing containerized Java, JavaScript, and Python web applications utilizing Spring Boot 2 & 3 using JDK 8, 11, & 17, ReactJS, AngularJS, and NodeJS
