Economic and Social Development Canada

Technical Lead

WCMS

2020 - Present

Responsibilities include managing a multi-disciplinary team, helping to architect and develop the application, creating SDLC documentation, and reporting to senior management on technical issues and potential solutions. As Team Lead, I tend to the day-to-day needs of my team, assign work tickets, help with debugging and requirement analysis, promote best practices, and complete performance reviews. As technical advisor I work on the project directly, which is a multidimensional and cloud-native application, consisting of many different services provided by the Azure platform (for example, Storage Account, Frontdoor, Application Gateway, App Service, etc.). I lead the development of the DevOps strategy using Azure DevOps as our CI/CD tool, and Terraform to deploy our cloud services in a maintainable and repeatable way. I also work with other technical advisors and representatives from other teams (development teams, Cloud, and IT Security), to ensure that our solution is robust, secure, maintainable, and re-usable by other applications in the future.
