The most amazing...
...thing that I have developed is an implementation of the VirusTotal interface that allowed similar workflows to be done internally.
Employment
Experience
- Micro Focused QA — Ephemeral Environments
A Kubernetes based project that allowed for individual Jira tickets (represented as branches in the git provider) to be tested by a QA engineer within an ephemeral existence of the web application. Utilizing Helm and a CICD engine, I was able to create short-lived deployments of the customers' web app, with build hash referenced URLs, that allowed the developers and the QA team to work asynchronously. At any given point in time, there will be 15-20 deployments of the web app that reference a Jira ticket directly.
