IBMSquad Leader

Oct. 2019 - Aug. 2020Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina AreaAs squad leader I manage, mentor, and train the Capacity Management tooling team for ZaaS and other IBM Cloud Systems. As well as continuing my duties as a Development Software Engineer. I've applied my knowledge and expertise in mentoring to launch a new product from a skunk works ideation after hours, to an official product with my own team to mentor, deadlines to hit, and resources to manage. We went from a team of three to a team of five; from team members with no practical Kubernetes, Golang, GraphQL, or SQL knowledge, to fully capable Golang, et al, developers in their own rights; from an MVP in one qurter, to a performant beast under production load that passed Penetration Testing with flying colors in another quarter; from theoretical integration, to fully integrating our first big service and data center. It's been a whirlwind. Then back at it another quarter, teaching a new group Golang, customizing a forked Kubernetes, and knee deep in another cloud infrastructure. My kind of work.

In order to make this work, I've helped build and taken part in a team to define a new way to get systems through CI/CD onto the Hybrid Cloud and am leading one of our projects that use it. this consists mainly of a blend of Jenkins, Git repository automation, and Openshift. Automation is the future.
