Tools Engineer @ I'm working on the DevTools team to build and improve Twitch's automation, release and deployment process. This involves a massive revamping our deployment pipeline to take advantage of AWS, and building out cross-functional software for testing and verification, all while handling Twitch's rapid growth rate! From May 2015 to Present (8 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSenior Automation and Tools Engineer @ Built cross-platform browser and mobile device automation frameworks and tools, for Firefox desktop and the Firefox OS project. I've designed, built and maintained the Marionette project which is the backbone for FirefoxOS mobile automation, and helped build out related tools and automation for mobile. Built automation tools (ex: test harnesses, application generators, etc.) and infrastructure (ex: in-house device lab, outsourced device lab) and building stable mobile automation software on constantly changing codebases with extremely tight deadlines! I worked tirelessly across teams (QA, front-end, performance, release, etc.) to help solve problems and create much needed tools, and to get code released. Gained a lot of organization, specification and communication skills! Lots of Javascript, Python, Bash and poring over constantly changing source code :) From June 2011 to March 2015 (3 years 10 months) Software Development Engineer Intern @ Made useful logging and metric gathering and crunching middleware with Java.
