Dec 2018 - Present
As a Cloud Engineer/Developer, I created Azure DevOps pipeline for CI/CD by leveraging technical proficiency in Bitbucket, Jenkins, and Octopus Deploy. Using Footprints software and Microsoft Azure DevOps platform, I successfully resolved SSO and ticketing issues. I also developed a web application for auditors that reduced paperwork to 80% by enabling auditors to log expenses into the application instead of preparing files.My additional responsibilities included providing IAM on Sitecore content management system and designing SharePoint sites, such as Columbia College student resources portal. While working closely with developers, I led IT Infrastructure development and deployment and performed virtual machine networking configurations in Azure Cloud environment. I also performed single sign-on configurations and implementation of third-party applications with Azure Active Directory. Show less
