What needed to change
Development, pre-sales, and training teams each required full production-parity environments to do their work effectively. Maintaining these environments for teams across multiple continents required significant compute and licensing spend that had never been scrutinized.
The company was also undergoing a corporate transition, adding pressure to demonstrate measurable operational improvements while maintaining development velocity across US and European teams.
How it was solved
Architected a DevOps data pipeline to migrate a 5M+ record relational subset into production-parity sandboxes — eliminating the need for high-dollar full-environment builds while preserving the fidelity that development and pre-sales teams required.
Served as the multi-role technical lead across QA, Product, and DevOps, auditing the SDLC, building data pipelines for environment parity, and hardening the codebase across distributed teams. Maintained quality standards throughout a period of leadership transition.
