My Work

- Automated complex application upgrades using Azure DevOps pipelines for intricate server environments.

Portfolio

Designed Automated Upgrade Pipelines: Created Azure DevOps pipelines to automate the upgrade process for applications, including service management, file handling, and SQL updates.
Service Management Automation: Automated stopping and starting of services using custom scripts integrated into Azure Pipelines to ensure minimal downtime during upgrades.
File Management: Implemented automation for copying upgrade files from Azure File Share to target VMs, ensuring timely and accurate file deployment.
SQL Script Execution: Automated execution of SQL upgrade scripts as part of the pipeline to apply necessary database changes during the upgrade process.
Backup Integration: Integrated automated backup processes into the upgrade pipeline to ensure data integrity and recovery options during upgrades.
Configuration Management: Automated configuration changes as part of the upgrade process, including adjustments to application settings and environment variables.
Error Handling and Notifications: Incorporated error handling and notification mechanisms in the pipeline to alert teams of any issues during the upgrade process.
Testing and Validation: Automated testing and validation of the upgraded environment to confirm successful deployment and functionality post-upgrade.
Rollback Procedures: Implemented automated rollback procedures in case of upgrade failures, ensuring quick recovery to a previous stable state.
Documentation and Reporting: Automated generation of upgrade logs and reports to document the upgrade process and provide visibility into successful or failed operations.
