• Increased the efficiency of the CI/CD pipeline and minimized blocks by integrating zFOCS, an internal virtual mainframe environment, into the Jenkins firmware test pipeline (using Groovy and Bash scripting).

• Maintained the firmware regression test pipeline through version control migrations, server migrations, and multiple mainframe generations.

• Used Robot Framework and Python to automate weekly system network testing, which was previously completed via a manual, time-intensive process.

• Led the successful Python 2 migration to v3, which enabled the code base to remain supported.

• Created a modular, scalable, and easy-to-update Python SDK (utilizing OpenAPI) to produce libraries that could be automatically generated. Shared the SDK with other teams.

• Communicated with teams globally to debug networking issues in the developer test machines.

• Provided training and background knowledge to new engineers during the onboarding process.

• Developed software for the z/Transaction Processing Facility (z/TPF) as part of an Agile team.

• Wrote a RESTful web service in Java to move data from z/TPF to a remote Apache Kafka server, which enabled the data to be more organized, reliable, and scalable.

• Wrote a back-end driver in C/C++ to support the Apache Kafka web service enabling it to fully integrate with the z/TPF operating system.

• Presented the web service to z/TPF clients demonstrating how it could be used to increase efficiency.

Provided IT support for the WSWHE school district involving laptop repairs and computer system installations
