I'm a Software Engineer specializing in DevOps.
In my career I have developed automation, processes and builds and maintained systems for multi OS, multi cloud and multi platform software, Web applications and Cloud infrastructure, System Administration (Linux & Windows), implementation of ALM tools and DevOps methodologies using open source tools and software ( Github!).
I tend to feel at home in cross product teams whose responsibilities include multiple technologies, software stacks and architectures.
I started my career at a multinational software provider which was a major learning experience from so many talented professionals in diverse fields.
Currently, I'm focusing on taking my experience to companies where I can use cutting edge technologies and make more of an impact.
I'm passionate and curious about everything technology and enjoy listening to podcasts regularly to expand my knowledge, among them:

I was the sole DevOps Engineer at Hometalk.
My responsibilities have included ALM tools, server and database infrastructure and automation across the stack.
My major accomplishment at Hometalk was enhancing the Selenium test automation infrastructure by migrating it to Linux and enable multi-node parallel running of the Selenium functional tests.
The project improved reliability and speeded up the tests by a factor of 10.
This enabled the developers to have a much quicker feedback loop on features and as a result, software could be rolled out multiple times a day.
