Agile development

• From 2021-2023, I worked on a team using Scrum, Jira, Confluence, and Slack. Had test, dev, stage, and production environments, along with local virtualbox. Built tests that ran on the various environments via slack commands. Staging was pushed to production every scrum sprint. All code went through pull requests and code review.

• In 2013, I built a SaaS mobileclick.com, that that received traffic and sent the user targeted ads based on their browser device (Eg. iphone, android, desktop). Used RDS and EC2 with auto scaling and load balancing. At the time, AWS only offered a new instance script that would run when the auto scaler loaded a new clone instance into the group.
• In 2013, I built a mass email sender using AWS. I used postfix and that, at the time, capped at ~80k emails per hour, so had multiple instances.
