June 2007 - Present, Software Configuration Manager
Environment: Linux and MS-Windows XP

I began as a contractor with Bi Methods at DHL Global Mail executing builds with Maven and shell scripts on Linux systems, supporting our java developers, and deploying using OC4J. I developed both shell and Perl scripts to update or audit the Subversion repository individual or group permissions and files.  I also wrote scripts to distribute and deploy java executables to the supported J2EE testing and production environments securing our environments with ssh key authentication. Our department began using WebLogic and I implemented our conversion in all environments. I was converted to a direct employee and became the sole CM; taking on the additional duties of the two other CM's when the company downsized our department.

I executed builds using Anthill Pro, on Linux and Windows systems with tomcat servers, using a Subversion and Star Team code repository with Agile and JIRA ticketing systems. I scripted installation and sanity testing cron tasks and performed manufacturing update orders for all systems. I also created and revised documentation for the SCM build activities and training for usage of Subversion.

Bell South Telecommunications: Salary $89,900.00/yr Supervisor: Mr. Pete Frigola 675 W. Peachtree St. MS: 42P78, Atlanta, GA 30375

Nov 1998 - Sept 2005, Software Configuration Manager
Environment: UNIX

As Team Lead on multiple projects my duties were planning, execution, and documentation of project builds, coordinating change documents to select source files (C, Java, etc.) for compilation (with Ant or Make), creating executable code, shared or static libraries, and deployment to various test or production environments. Root cause failure analysis was done if necessary. I coordinated releases with other projects and designed, analyzed, and prototyped Build automation improvements for a 66% reduction in execution time, and enabled out-of-hours Build execution and installation with results reported via email or web page.

I reported SCM Support Team status at staff and project planning meetings, providing reports (using SQL queries of the SCM database), and coordinated the activities of the Sys. Admin. and DB Admin. team members to meet project goals such as loading new machines for project releases.

I was Team Lead on replacing CMVC as our SCM tool, responsible for delegating tasks, and tracking and reporting project progress. Our team established acceptance criteria, reviewed off-the-shelf products, and reported our selection of PVCS Dimensions to the Departmental Research Directors. We documented lifecycles, user roles, change documents, work processes, training materials, and future improvements. I implemented SCM rules for our work processes and Change Request life cycle, loaded source files, authored (or reviewed and revised) all training documentation, and wrote and maintain the SCM trigger (called by Dimensions to for specialized tasks). I also wrote tools which accessed the Dimensions Database views to verify the Build Change Document Dependencies, and create needed Baselines and Releases. My work was recognized with a departmental award and compensation.

I was a member of the SCM Process Management Team (PMT), Training PMT, and the SCM CMM committee (seeking CMM level three acceptance). I've completed training in HTML, CCS, JavaScript, and XML/XSL coding; using this to create and maintain the Configuration Management departmental web page. more...
