Software Specialist

Nokia•  November 2022 - Present

In a series of strategic roles, I significantly accelerated project delivery, achieving a 30-40% reduction in time-to-market and maintaining a 100% on-time delivery rate. I led a groundbreaking proof of concept for Helm chart testing, directly contributing to elevated testing standards by developing 35% of all test cases. My work in enhancing a Service Discovery and Configuration service with etcd and confd markedly improved system efficiency and robustness. Demonstrating mastery over essential development tools, including Git, Gerrit, Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm Charts, I significantly boosted team productivity. Key projects under my leadership include the successful early completion of Java 17 integration, enhancing performance and security, and dramatically improving code quality by reducing SonarQube complaints from 500 to 1. My efforts in optimizing CI/CD processes, coupled with a focus on security enhancements and client satisfaction, underscored my commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in software development.
