•Atlassian tools administration. Overhauled the jira workflows for better productivity that would cover various jira projects. Established integration between source control tool (mercurial) and Atlassian tools, so the lifecycle process is effective. Implemented customizations for a few tasks using groovy.

•Other responsibilities include - managing the VMs in vmware environment, improvements to build scripts, implement trigger scripts, handle upgrade related requests within Zebi OS Releases, manage coverity, refactor makefiles to reduce the number of Jenkins jobs.

•Establish and improve auto-merge between various branches to keep the commit graph in tact within fisheye and mercurial.

•Support intellicare analytics product (proactive health checker) hosted in AWS Platform. This uses technology stack: S3, RDS for postgres, solr logger, load balancer, VPC and zookeeper. General tasks include updating db tables, webapp and log monitoring. Support Docker in dev environments.

General Electric

Consultant Build Engineer 03/2014 – 09/2014
