Senior Software Engineer
Accenture
- Built Python-based delivery automation for client engineering workflows, helping teams standardize builds, approvals, and release handoffs across mixed on-prem and cloud environments.
- Analyzed existing version control and CI practices, then translated the findings into a tailored rollout plan for Azure DevOps pipelines and YAML templates that fit each client team.
- Implemented reusable pipeline steps for linting, test execution, artifact publication, and environment promotion, cutting manual release preparation time by 30%.
- Supported workshops and status reviews with engineering and operations stakeholders, documenting workflow gaps and turning them into actionable process changes.
- Integrated pipeline checks with Git-based branching rules and quality gates so teams could catch broken builds earlier and reduce noisy handoffs.
- Provided remote troubleshooting for CI server setup, build agent configuration, and access issues during rollout windows across different client time zones.
- Reviewed deployment scripts and infrastructure changes with client developers to improve consistency between test, staging, and production environments.
- Prepared user-facing documentation for process advisor setup, pipeline ownership, and common failure scenarios so teams could maintain the workflow after handoff.
Software Engineer
Amazon
- Improved Python automation around streaming service release workflows, supporting build validation, deployment checks, and rollback readiness for customer-facing software changes.
- Developed Jenkins and Git-based CI jobs that ran test suites, packaging steps, and static checks before releases reached production systems.
- Reduced failed build reruns by 22% by tightening pipeline triggers, dependency handling, and artifact versioning across multiple delivery branches.
- Implemented Dockerized test runners and environment-specific configuration to keep validation behavior consistent across developer, staging, and pre-production systems.
- Worked on operational scripts that gathered release metrics and surfaced flaky stages, helping teams focus on the highest-friction parts of the delivery chain.
- Collaborated with product and platform engineers to document release procedures and keep deployment notes aligned with frequent service updates.
Software Engineer
Zalando
- Built automation for e-commerce release and inventory workflows, supporting catalog changes, fulfillment services, and internal developer tooling used by retail engineering teams.
- Created Python jobs and CI pipeline steps for code quality checks, test execution, and artifact publication across services that backed shopping and order operations.
- Improved deployment reliability for containerized services by standardizing Helm values, environment variables, and release checks across staging and production clusters.
- Worked with Git-based branching and merge validation to reduce broken handoffs between feature development and release preparation, improving merge confidence for shared services.
- Added monitoring and alerting hooks for batch workflows that handled catalog updates and operational sync jobs, helping teams detect failures earlier in the day.
- Documented workflow changes and troubleshooting steps for developers and support engineers, making it easier to resolve build and deployment issues without repeated escalation.
Software Engineer
CashDirector
- Developed Python automation for financial reporting and reconciliation workflows, helping internal teams process account data, validate exports, and support client bookkeeping operations.
- Implemented CI checks for backend services and batch jobs so changes to payment-related logic were tested before reaching production environments.
- Built scripts that compared ledger outputs against source files, catching data mismatches earlier and improving reconciliation accuracy for client finance teams.
- Maintained deployment routines and environment configuration for cloud-hosted services, keeping releases predictable for tools used in regulated financial workflows.
