As a senior software engineer with HelpSystems, I worked with a team that helped to design and develop a secure file transfer solution, that both managed storage and encryption of file management, as well as secure transfer of files across a large variety of platforms and environments. In addition, this solution also allowed for drag-and-drop programmatic solutions for the end customer to build out and design their own file-management workflow solution, using a variety of build-in communication tools, as well as custom connector tools for third party vendor solutions. I took the company's sprawling repository of projects that were built on SVN and migrated them all to GIT. In doing so, I helped to train the organization on how to use GIT, and also created a code review process for the team, which utilized Gitlab in combination with Jira project management to help enhance task throughput and provide better code review results. I spearheaded the initiative, and was the lead of a team tasked to move our entire application infrastructure "to the cloud". Working closely with a large number of stakeholders in various departments throughout the company, I helped drive forward a project to provide a matching cloud offering to our customers; eliminating the requirement of their own hardware and an IT admin to build out their infrastructure. Using a one-click process, we built out a solution to automate procurement and configuration of an entire cloud-based solution in AWS utilizing many AWS solutions (CloudFormation, CloudFront, ACM, S3, RDS, EC2 / EBS, EFS, Route 53, SSM, EC2 Instance Connect, CloudTrail, IAM, KMS, VPC, EIP, Amazon's SDK and their newer just released CDK). With security at the forefront of design, we were able to accomplish this in a manner that helped to ensure successful data protection for the end customer.
