I’m currently looking for a place to plug in my passion for Build & Release Engineering. My greatest passion is helping a software team get their innovative genius into their users’ hands quickly and with high quality.
I’m a huge believer in best-practices in DevOps, that the happiest customers (and happiest development teams) are the ones that apply the best practices in building and releasing their software. Those practices are:
- Efficient releases
- Frequent releases (aka Continuous Delivery)
- Fast and frequent delivery of test information (a strong part of Continuous Integration)
- Self-service and automated workflows for developers
- Infrastructure as code
- Scalability and Elasticity
- Building communities of practice
- Psychologically safe teams
These practices are roled out by the DORA team at Google. I’ve been a part of making these changes on my teams. These types of practices make happier users. They even make happier development teams: DORA research has proven that these practices lead to better work-life balance. We can all take joy in these kinds of changes.
My tool chest of technologies includes:
- Jenkins, Pipeline/Groovy
- Scripting: Python, Perl, Bash, Windows-batch
- Git/Github, Subversion
- Ansible
- Artifactory
- AWS and CloudFormation
- Git, Subversion
- … and all the REST API’s of the above, where applicable
- C/C++ Software Development and Testing
- Eagerness to collaborate and learn with every challenge
My eagerness to help software teams be their best extends somewhat beyond Build and Release Engineering. At my core is a desire to help software teams and individual contributors be at their highest potential. Each team and each person is in a different place for reaching that potential, and I’m eager to help others reach it, either technologically or interpersonally.
