Our objective is to automate all manual processes.

Artificial Intelligence

1. Summarize change release reports with Claude Opus using artificial intelligence
2. Vibe-coded an authorization endpoint for a RAG-chain backed chatbot that uses artificial intelligence
3. Find solutions to new problems by prompting Claude Sonnet using Claude Code
4. Review GitHub Pull Requests using GitHub Copilot (configured via ./.github/copilot-instructions.md)
5. Review GitHub Pull Requests using Claude Code using Sonnet (configured via ./CLAUDE.md) together with the GitHub MCP Server to improve both my own code and colleagues

GitHub Actions

1. Use GitHub Actions to start new sprints
2. GitHub Actions deploy to testing environments on cronjob schedule
3. GitHub Actions to deploy to Production and User Acceptance Environments
4. GitHub Actions that automatically validate that unit tests pass and code quality

Adobe Cloud Manager

1. Used Adobe Cloud Manager for Continuous Deployments

Post-Deployment Lambda Actions

1. Post-Deployment actions written in Python are executed on AWS Lambda Functions
2. Adobe Cloud Manager executes them after a deployment has (either successfully or unsuccessfully) finished
3. Clear the Dispatcher (the Apache HTTPd server) and the AWS CloudFront (CDN) caches
4. Notify stakeholders by sending emails
5. Notify stakeholders and developers within a Microsoft Teams channel

Datadog

1. Send our logs (Adobe Experience Manager), Dispatcher, Firewall (WAF), CloudFront (CDN), automated testing, AWS S3 Buckets, and Google Lighthouse to Datadog
2. Use Application Performance Monitoring (APM) to correlate logs and errors
3. Use APM tags to tag heartbeat monitors and infrastructure per environment
4. Trace HTTP requests from AEM to other third-party services
5. Logs from automated testing and Google Lighthouse were sent to S3 Buckets
6. Used the Datadog S3 Forwarder Lambda Function to send logs from S3 Buckets
7. Built Grok processors to process logs into Facets and Metrics
8. Built Dashboards to make data accessible to Application Teams
9. Built Heartbeat monitors (using Synthetic Tests) to ensure that websites are running
10. Use PagerDuty to notify by email if website or server is down
11. Use ServiceNow to communicate with stakeholders

I lead a team of software developers to make developing and deploying more efficient for Thomson Reuters' marketing websites, such as Thomson Reuters' home page. We build Continuous Integration environments that enforce linting for Java, TypeScript, and SCSS; testing including code coverage. Our process is so rigorous that Thomson Reuters can afford to hire short-term vendors to build features on demand, while maintaining high-levels of software quality.

We built a release process using GitHub Actions to facilitate deployment by any vendor to our Staging environments.

We use a testing framework built with Cucumber and Selenium to validate new deployments to our Staging and Production environments to guard against regression.

Adobe Experience Manager

1. Use the Checkstyle Maven plugin for Java linting
2. Use Prettier and ESLint for TypeScript and SCSS linting
3. Use the JaCoCo plugin to ensure high test coverage (at least 81 per cent)
4. Migrated the codebase from Java 8 to Java 11

Release Process

1. Designed a release process that allows any vendor to easily deploy new software
2. New software is vetted by both an automated Integration Testing Framework and manually by Project Managers
3. Code is reviewed by senior internal developers to using GitHub Pull Requests

Integration Testing Framework

1. High test coverage gives us confidence before a new release goes live
2. Create a new automated test case when a new version breaks a web page to ensure it does not repeat itself
3. Used Java for the test functionality (i.e., Steps), Cucumber for the test cases (i.e., Features), and Selenium as the web driver

I am a principal contributor who develops and deploys Thomson Reuters’ marketing websites on the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) platform. Accomplishments include

Adobe Experience Manager

1. Consulted on the architecture of new features together with project manager, content authors, and third-party vendors
2. Developed new features on Adobe Experience Manager
3. Oversaw the development of new webpages such as Onvio and ONESOURCE
4. Transitioned the Thomson Reuters Legal page to use Stencil Web Components

Installation

1. Created a GitHub repository for creating Docker images consisting of an AEM 6.5 installation with the latest packages
2. Placed the latest AEM packages (application and content) in an AWS S3 Bucket
3. Wrote GitHub Action pipelines and Bash scripts to automatically update the Docker image and deploy it to JFrog Artifactory

Documentation

1. Wrote documentation in both GitHub (for software developers) and on Confluence (for managers, content authors, and third-party vendors.)
2. Set up coding guidelines

Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment

1. Configured GitHub Actions with Bash scripts to automate deployments to our Quality Assurance and Pre-production environments
2. Set up migration scripts to automate migration of new frontend asset versions
3. Configured our Adobe Experience Manager platform to deploy to Adobe Managed Services

PayOnline

1. Bug fixes on Thomson Reuters' PayOnline system

Thomson Reuters operates a proprietary Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for running their customers' web applications.

Development

1. Responsible for adding new web stacks (Java 8 and Node.js 6)
2. Improved the stability of the system by creating a new automated testing framework
3. Added a feature to target users to the server closest to their location

Deployment

1. Used GitLab to maintain our codebase

Trike Apps produces Bellroy's e-commerce platform to sell wallets and carry products

Development

1. Implemented a smarter caching strategy
2. Ensured that slower content loaded asynchronously
3. Used Imgix to reduce image sizes
4. Extended Bellroy’s templates (written in Liquid) to allow designers to perform A/B testing
5. Implemented an integration with PayPal, allowing users to pay using PayPal Express Checkout without needing to leave Bellroy’s website
