etc.) along with history on Thor. Created XML, JSON parsers as part of project.

Designed and implemented a system using active batch to dispatch tests to several virtual machines. Wrote an

tests, and deploys them to active batch.

Wrote a monthly purge job using Powershell to clean up test reports stored in a shared directory more than 30

days old.

Created an interop library for the COM interface exposed by Active batch to ensure other projects could

interact on a direct level to trigger tests, update build, etc.
