I began working as a full time software developer at Environment and Climate Change Canada after I graduated from Ryerson. My responsibilities include automation, back-end development, database administration, implementing and maintaining dev-ops systems, system administration and student mentoring.

Acting Team Lead

I was given the responsibility of acting as Team Lead. I lead a team of 3 employees and 2 co-op students. 

During this period I coordinated the 2021 hiring process,  where we hired over 25 students across 9 different departments. I conducted interviews, hired new employees, mentored new students and helped transition students into full time employees.

Automon

I worked on a large multi-province web application known as Automon, which automated a national weather balloon operation across 36 weather stations. This project was developed in Angular using an Electron framework.

RADARSAT

I’ve worked on large projects known as the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, where I helped develop the data pipelines. The project was programmed in Java with Python scripts to manage image operations.

Dev Ops

I’ve worked on DevOps using Gitlab, Jenkins Pipelines and Docker to build, test, package and release components and projects. I’ve set up project pipelines on both Linux and Windows servers using Git, Jenkins and Docker.

SQL

I’ve worked on maintaining and improving the database system responsible for distributing and collecting weather information nationwide. This database uses SQL.

System Administration

I’ve also worked on System Administration tasks. Performing OS upgrades on legacy systems and completing server migrations. I developed an Ansible module which automates the upgrade and server installation process, to remove manual operations.
