I managed an IT portfolio of 130 web and mobile based applications and coordinate the identification, bundling, planning, scheduling, reporting and measuring of all application work, including off-cycle and emergency releases. My ability to resolve roadblocks and mitigate risks enabled successful application releases.

I also coordinated the development of comprehensive release implementations, validations, and back-out plans.

➧ Utilizing continuous integration and continuous deployment tools within the DevOps framework I was able to improve release frequency significantly from once a month to twice every week.
➧ People are our greatest asset and I was able to facilitate the development of a robust entry-level talent pool by managing multiple aspects of the IT internship program including demand identification, budgeting recruiting, planning, and coordinating resource engagement.
