As a Senior Technical Architect, I was a top engineer in our group, the go to person for escalations, peer support, and problems that no one else could fix. During this time I focused on standing up systems and processes to support our development team and methodology. I helped architect and build a complete end to end version control system on top of git that has completely changed the way that we develop and deliver projects within our organization.
