In my debut tech role, led SVN to Git transition, engineered internal libraries, mentored devs, & operated a Gitolite instance.

In my first tech role, I embarked on a journey to contribute significantly to the engineering department’s operations. My responsibilities included engineering internal libraries, developing templates for server-side languages, & aiding in the transition from SVN to Git version control.

During the initial three months, I led the pivotal transition of the engineering department from SVN to Git version control, laying the foundation for streamlined collaboration & version management. Additionally, I was entrusted with the responsibility of building, operating, & maintaining a Gitolite instance to support our version control system.

To fulfill these responsibilities, I diligently engineered internal libraries & developed templates for various server-side languages to cater to the diverse needs of our clients. Moreover, I architected a comprehensive component & design system to ensure consistency & efficiency across client projects.

Also, I played a key role in training & mentoring server-side developers in client-side development practices, facilitating their transition into new domains. Additionally, I provided guidance & mentorship in Linux tools & automation, empowering developers to leverage efficient workflows & enhance productivity.

Through my dedication & leadership in my first tech role, I successfully engineered solutions, led crucial transitions, & empowered fellow developers with valuable skills & knowledge. The implementation of Git version control, the establishment of a robust Gitolite instance, & the development of comprehensive libraries & templates contributed to the efficiency & effectiveness of our engineering operations. Moreover, my mentorship & training efforts fostered a culture of continuous learning & growth within the team, laying the groundwork for future success.
