- Release and change management - creating and managing git branches for production releases, maintaining release changelog, merging the changes into the release. Signing off builds for production release in test environments. 

- Implemented CI pipeline for build compile/assembly/running database migration which is currently used for deployment to test environments and production. 

- Implement static assets versioning in ATG, which has significantly improved page speed as it allows cache static resources virtually forever on the client side.

- Migrate test automation pipelines to Jenkins from Bamboo in order to reduce the cost of pipelines maintenance, simplify the set up and implement reusable pipelines as code.

- Implemented real-time reporting of automated functional tests in custom MEAN stack web application. Also, I’ve set up test results data streaming to ElasticSearch and subsequently displaying on configurable Kibana dashboards.
