Hometalk - 1 Yr.
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.
