Confidential, Irving, TX

Performance Test Manager

Responsibilities:

• Lead the Performance testing effort to evaluate Pivotal Cloud Foundry to handle their current user load with acceptable performance.
• Lead the POC to compare two monitoring tools (AppDynamics v4.1 versus CA Wily v10.0). This effort involved comparing all major KPIs on all the tiers through both the tools to understand which tool offer most functionality for Production monitoring.
• Ran Performance Tests with various scenarios using both monitoring tools and analyzed results to advice on next set of testing.
• Closely worked with Citi infrastructure SMEs to install monitoring agents on various tiers which involved PCF runtime monitors, PCF Application monitors, ESB Servers monitors, Gemfire servers,nginx and API Gateway. This involved working with system SMEs and vendors (AppDynamics and Wily ) to understand the infrastructure closely and their monitoring requirements. I worked with both the vendors separately to identify the process to install each monitoring agent. I worked with Operations team to get it installed and activated.
• Led the effort with Vendor (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) and Citi’s internal SMEs in uncovering various Performance issues.
• Created and delivered all Performance Testing artifacts to various team as needed. Provided daily status to executives over the course of Performance Testing.
