  Create 50 tests for new SIP device features which reduced the number of customer tickets by 20%Develop libraries and tests for automation framework using SIP device API's so engineers can build upon existing framework leveraging the hundreds of tests writtenCreate a dashboard using CI/CD Jenkins pipeline to continuously monitor 40 application servers and session border controllers in the network by using SIP device automation frameworkManage and design JavaScripts to drive uniformity, mapping of SBC, and customer onboarding logic; therefore decreasing onboarding time by 30-50% and ticket resolution time for customers by 30-40%Design self-service automation framework by using IAC and Ansible to deploy SIP device settings and configurations globally decreasing maintenance execution time by 60%Develop Ansible modules to control customer device level tags on a large scale; the tool grabs redundant server, executes SQL query, gathers data, cleans, formats, and outputs a xml for an OCI client to execute; reducing execution time by 75%Create libraries and wrappers of data center devices in order to write tests for new deployments, reducing validation time by 30% and eliminating human error Create chaos tests for data center devices to test resiliency of the network by using poweriq and pyats to poweroff devicesAutomate manual effort of adding administrators to 50 BroadWorks servers by developing an Ansible job to handle execution globally Show less · Developed and maintained JavaScripts for a proprietary tool that controlled over a million devices globally· Developed a tool to execute maintenances uniformly and to decrease the learning curve for other team members· Deployed newly certified devices and firmware loads into the network for customer use resulting in an increase in onboarding and reduction of tickets by 20%· Interoperability tested SIP devices and firmware to be integrated into the network· Worked with product managers, developers, and stakeholders to discuss roadmaps and customer requests for enhancements or devices· Mentored junior engineers on SIP interoperability testing and proprietary tooling Show less

  Deploy AWX(Ansible-Tower) via mini-kube, this allowed the team to have asingle launching point for all playbooks; This reduced the complexity ofdeploying by 30% and allowed RBAC for playbooks and inventory.Create automated security update workflows in Ansible that would checkSplunk Clusters and other servers security vulnerabilities. If an update wasavailable, the play would update the system and reboot(if required); post-reboot another play will launch and test the cluster by bringing up a searchhead and doing a search. The workflows reduced the man-hours per weekby 100%.Train other engineers to work with various technologies and broke downcomplex problems into jira tickets for other member to tackle.Collaborate with other teams to redesign current manual Splunkdeployments and convert them to a stable deployment using Ansible andFastAPI reducing the time spent on deployments by an average of 80%Re-built legacy codebase using FAST API, docker, terraform, celery,rabbitmq, and python. Therefore reducing the time to build infrastructurefrom 20 minutes per student to 2 minutes decreasing build time by 1000%Create an ansible-playbook and Ansible module for Splunk API. The playwas used to clean up stale route53 records automatically and reducesecurity incidents from 100's of incidents per week to 0 involving DNS.Create best practices and took legacy code, ansible, shell, and play andcreated ansible-collections and python libraries for importing into variousprojects to reduce tech debt and allow other colleagues to re-use code.Decreasing ramp-up time by 30%.Work with security engineer to integrate cloud-custodian into ansible-playsfor deployment and scheduling. This allowed policy as code and to save20% on AWS cost on resources that were no longer being used. Show less
