Platform Architect
2014 - 2017
BBVA Francés S.A.
- Worked in a team that designed, installed, configured, and maintained the infrastructure of BBVA's subsidiaries, especially crucial to keep them running during business hours.
- Investigated a great deal about new technologies and how to incorporate them into our current business processes.
- Designed and implemented a process to remotely migrate all the NAS devices of the subsidiaries from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 14.04. This project included the creation of a very little initrd (initial ramdisk) file that allows me to connect via SSH and then automates the migration process.
- Researched and analyzed how to incorporate Linux containers, specifically Docker containers, into production to solve problems with different versions of application libraries.
- Worked on the creation of new methodologies to generate images of the operating system with Ansible as provisioning tools.
- Developed a RESTful web service in Java that allows a web application to interact with an NCR printer. The web application makes calls to my RESTful API every time I need to print a ticket for the clients that enter the subsidiary. This development allowed BBVA to reduce the money spent licenses by a large amount.
- Researched and tested pilots of CoreOS, Kubernetes, Etcd, Flannel, and more.
