An SME, for Apache JMeter and Splunk(admin). Organized Workshops & Webinars, written internal Tech Blogs.
Presented Whitepapers to leadership panel from different Services Companies in an International Conference - Regionals and this paper was nominated for publishing in the final proceedings.
The Paper was titled on "Integration of Performance Tools and Operational Intelligence for Real Time Alerts and Risk Identification".
Tools Explored & Implemented - Loadrunner Citrix, Web Services, Dynatrace, ELK and Splunk.
Applications - GE Smallworld Physical Network Inventories (PNI) hosted on Citrix Servers, Web App and WebServices
As an SME for JMeter contributed in POC and implementations in Performance Testing various applications - Web, Web Services, MQ, DB, LDAP, executions in Linux boxes and developing JMeter Plugins for Client Specific (Customer Developed) Applications. Have also written JMeter Manual for CoE References and Documenting the Challenges faced with different types of testings. I've completed JMeter Level1 Certification recognized by Cognizant. Also worked on JMeter Jenkins - integration & implementation for CI & CD.
I've also recommended and implemented an Information Services Client to adapt JMeter after doing a Proof of Concept Evaluation of the applications. The Project Team & Architects supported the Proof of Concept and recognized the cost savings JMeter brought. Thus the project adapted and appreciated the efforts of bringing JMeter over Parasoft.
Thus being an SME for JMeter and the idea of integrating OI tools such as Splunk and ELK rewarded "ASSOCIATE Of THE QUARTER AWARD - by NFT CoE CIME Q4 2015" .
