Dear valued employer:

Was a co-member of 2 person team migrating Jira, Confluence, Bamboo,
and Crowd from Walgreens datacenter to CatalystRX datacenter.
Experienced in initial setup and migration of Atlassian tools under
RHEL Linux - Jira, Confluence, Bamboo, Subversion, and Crowd.

UNIX scripting and administration experience since 1988,
GNU/Linux experience from 1996.  About 25 years supporting:
software or hardware development, UNIX servers and engineering
applications. ~2720 total Linux/UNIX system administration
hours over those years. 

US citizen; available immediately; will relocate within 100
miles of Milwaukee WI 53207.  

Latest/up to date resume; hours of focused work by skill; code samples:

Jira/Atlassian Experience:

  - our server at CatalystRX had a highly customized set of jira workflows;
    jira w/confluence and the other Atlassian tools, constituted a mature
    collaborative SDLC (java development)

  - one of two on SCM team at CatalystRX w/jira and confluence administrator rights,
    and Atlassian support accounts

  - multiple fresh installs/configs of jira, confluence, crowd, and Collabnet svn done;
    worksteps documented in detail

  - together w/project lead developed method, and tests for the process of: migrating jira
    and data to our new server/datacenter

  - maintained, monitored, tested cron driven jira and confluence backups

  - jira log monitoring, log parsing during troubleshooting, and known good states

  - jira workflow-change testing

  - maintained/enhanced, jira-triggered EAR 'scp' perl script

  - wrote and regularly used several python and bash script wrappers (utilities) around jira.sh, and confluence.sh

  - multi-year experience, day in day out "end user" of jira, confluence, bamboo, svn...

  - beginner level familiarity w/new jira workflow setup

  - Loaded and tested jira workflows on my PC.  Spent about 16 hours studying jira workflow
    creation.

  - spec'd out vm Xeon hardware for jira, confluence, bamboo, crowd Linux servers 

My Atlassian experience was with Walgreens Health Initiatives, a piece of which
became CatalystRX, then Catamaran.  While I was there, they migrated from cvs to
svn, and at the same time completely redesigned their Software Design Lifecycle
around jira project enhancement/fix, and build/deploy workflows, linked to collaborative
confluence wiki pages, and documents.  This was under Centos/RHEL, and AIX (websphere). I
watched them develope a series of developer (and many other project roles)
training classes, and I did one short presentation on 'make' builds. Bamboo
was used for ant java builds (99%), and a couple make driven C++ builds.  They had
two java developers (consultants from http://www.herzum.com/) that helped in depth
jira customization, that I got to know personally- for the first 1.5yr or so one of these
also took primary sys admin responsibility for Atlassian tools, but I helped him
w/Linux system admin.

Also I worked on to migrate jira, Confluence, Collabnet svn, Fisheye, and Crowd
from a single 8 core server in one data center to another datacenter but on multiple
xeon core VMs.  In that process I installed jira, bamboo, crowd, svn, and confluence; assisted
and troubleshot an issue in a few trial migrations of jira, svn repo, and Confluence.
