      Having spent over 12 years optimizing the "last mile" of software release to production, I am now practicing in Continuous Delivery (CD). CD amps up Agile development methodologies to apply the same ideas of Agile to the conception and release ends of a development life cycle.

      DevOps Engineer

      I spent the majority of my time at Pharmacy OneSource implementing Puppet Enterprise. The environment was almost entirely comprised of Windows operating systems. I had puppet configuring servers to run IIS web applications, Java-based Tomcat, JBoss, and Gigaspaces applications, as well as configuring all required tools for the continuous integration (Team City) agents to compile, test, and deploy the suite of applications there. I also implemented a deployment pipeline for the GitLab-hosted puppet code using Team City, RSpec, Rake, and R10k. Show less

      Coordinated the roadmaps of individual teams; one which developed and maintained the internal developer platform for current applications and future innovations. The other team consulted product owners and technical leads on the costs and operations of existing infrastructure and optimization improvements on those operations. I aligned the roadmaps of those teams on higher level business goals and managed expectations with stakeholders including security, compliance, procurement, and vendor management representatives.
