Siruna also developed the OSMBI SaaS product, that enabled rapid and low-cost development of a mobile website. Siruna has grown from a start-up of 5 persons to a VC-backed company of 20. I was responsible for the operational aspect of these services: testing and QA of the products, and migrating from development to the production environment. I designed and implemented a hosting solution for our SaaS service that enabled high-availability, failover and scalability. I made extensive use of the flexibility provided by virtualisation and cloud services. Show less
