Project: Spyglass

Observability was introduced to MapR via the Spyglass Project, which sought to obtain metrics from workloads as well as application specific metrics across all the tools and infrastructure of the MapR Hadoop Stack.

My responsibilities included automating the build and deployment of the full hadoop stack under development, automated test authoring and execution, mentoringjunior teammates to do the same, collaborating with dev teams to ensure they plugged into our CI/CD and Test framework nicely, andtroubleshooting problems that arose.

  • Introduced Scrum process and Jira to the team
  • Acted as scrum master in early days of project
  • Developed automation to manage ESXI environments for CI/CD, involving heterogeneous MapR cluster installation, configuration and testing
