Deployment Manager and Quality Assurance.

Designed and implemented the company’s best practices for the software life cycle and manage a small group of three to help comply with the best practices. Brought on-board management and development staff with critical implementation methods. Scheduled deployments with group to ensure very little down time and successful targeted deployments. Best practices also included the management of the separation of development, QA and production.

Wrote deployment automation scripts on Linux to compile and deploy to our testing & production environments. The scripts were written in C, C++, Shell scripting, Perl, SQSH, ISQL, Jira/Fisheye/Bamboo, Sybase and MySql relational databases. GUI applications deployed were run with JBoss and Tomcat.

Software changes saved in Subversion(SVN) and were linked to Jira trouble tickets using Fisheye. Subversion hooks allowing proper deployments and bi-directional logging of deployments. GUI builds were done using ANT files and C++ was done by BUILD files.

Was a member of an Agile SCRUM group for new software and used KANBAN method was used for maintenance of the existing applications.

Also brought in as Senior QA Engineer/Tester/Analyst. To design regression test documents and implemented test suites. Managed small group (same as Deployment Group) to document and run testing suites. The suites ensured that GUI was deployed properly.

Transition of India Group for QA and Deployment 2008

Traveled to India to train both the development and QA group to Quality Assurance and deployment practices. At this point the India QA and deployment group was able to work with the India development group to work in an agile environment.

Helped in the training of the India group when cycled to the USA during our busy season, Dec 15 thru May 1. Since this group was from India. I helped in support of this group during their time in New York. Software development and test and deployment was move to India for most of the company’s applications. I brought in winter coats and videos to make their stay comfortable.
