Engineer Management

* ******* ** **********

I am a Software Configuration Management and Build / Release consultant

with extensive automation experience. I love to make processes go faster

with less human interaction and have automated build and release processes

for large multi-revision products.

I have planned, implemented, deployed and supported SDLC processes and

tools for small single-location and big projects located in 5 time zones. I

have experience in a variety of software development roles, including

system engineering, design, implementation, customer support and training

and process development.

I will bring quality and consistency to your software product by

implementing a solid process that works for developers, testers and support

engineers alike.
