• Highly Proactive, Initiative Driven and Excellent problem-solving skills.
• My best skill is Innovative Problem Solving.
• I have 4 patents to my name. 2 more ideas are in the works and I plan on filing patents for each of them in the next 2 - 4 months.
• I helped Confidential with a production release where the team was 40 hours into the release with no end in sight and with my methodology the release was wrapped up successfully in 3 hours. And based on this I helped Confidential formulate companywide policy to prevent such scenarios in future. This policy and the methodology is a first in the IT industry in the world.
• I built a Virtual Machine with IBM Sterling software. This is a first in the Retail Industry. The second version when released had zero bugs, zero defects, zero issues and zero complaints.
• I work with my own methodology which helps me produce defect free work product on the second try in 90% of the cases. This includes coding or any other work product.
• I have specialized knowledge about few Business Domains including Retail. As a result, I have given Confidential few business ideas which are being implemented. I can’t provide specific details since this is confidential at this point.

Responsibilities:

• Current working on deployment of Puppet based DevOps project for Continuous Development Integration for this year.

• Proactively conceptualized, architected, designed and implemented a script that automates logs searching which now searches Production logs on all agent servers within seconds in Production for each application. This provided much needed ability for release team to identify issues with each JVM during the release itself instead of days later in Production systems.
• Proactively identified many issues to architect, design and implement solution within the entire setup of applications for maximizing automation within the team.

Environment: Java and J2ee Technology suites, Starteam, SVN, WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Application Server, IBM Sterling Sales Fulfillment System, Oracle 11gR2, XML and Linux. Other technologies used are Puppet, Jenkins, VirtualBox VM, SVN, Git, etc.
