My responsibilities include building out the entire department. I facilitated all processes, technologies, timelines, and hiring.

My first focus was to establish a solid foundation for how we work. This involved implementing appropriate DevOps solutions, including a Git workflow, designating approved frameworks, and creating Kanban boards and Gantt charts.

To improve quality control, I put in place a thorough QA process to help reduce mistakes. This included the use of custom compilers, testing suites, and checklists.

I also worked towards automating everyday processes to speed up development time. This included automating tasks such as:

  • Banner generation tool leveraging Gulp and Mustache.
  • Email generation tool leveraging Gulp and MJML.
  • Screenshots of banners, emails and websites to enable a more efficient department reviewal process.
