PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Charlotte, NC

Senior Software Engineer/ DevOps Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Created fully automated multi-environment high availability continuous integration/continuous delivery process for 10+ applications through Octopus Deploy. Process pushed production-ready web/windows application code and SQL script packages from TFS build server to Octopus deployment server.
• Packages would be deployed on schedule or on-demand to various environments based on designed project lifecycles (ex. QA to UAT to PROD, or QA to PROD)
• Octopus deployment plans included team email notifications, load balancer manipulation, SQL cluster manipulation, Selenium automated testing, environment variable substitution, SQL script deployment, IIS manipulation, SilkCentral build reporting etc. Process ensured deployments would cause NO downtime to end users and that code and database rollbacks would be possible. Developed suite of Powershell scripts to integrate TFS builds with JIRA (issue tracking product) through JIRA and TFS web apis. Each TFS check-in was scanned for JIRA issue.
• If one was found TFS check-in details were appended to JIRA issue. If one was not found the TFS build would fail.
• Process also ensured that software version in each environment could be easily managed and traced back to individual developer code check-ins for troubleshooting.
• Developed Powershell scripts to assist with SQL script deployment, Windows server and IIS manipulation. Configured and administered Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015 for 14 team projects - team security, branches, build definitions, build agents etc. Configured and administered IIS websites, app pools and certificates. Provided application and database support during deployments.
