Ricardo Kenny
@ricardokenny
I automate reliable software builds, releases, and configuration management across complex enterprise environments.
What I'm looking for
I’ve supported build, release, and software configuration management work across Scientific Games, Progressive, Medicare Maryland, L3Harris, IBM, FedEx Services, and other enterprise environments.
At Scientific Games, I automated source-code audit validation by building a Python 3 application that interfaced with PowerShell and Jira. I’ve also managed CI/CD pipelines, deployments, change controls, build automation, and reproducible environments across Unix, Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms.
I bring more than 20 years of experience with release engineering, Rational tools, ClearCase, ClearQuest, Git, Subversion, Jenkins, SQL, and enterprise documentation. My data analytics training also includes Python, R, Tableau, JavaScript, D3, machine learning, and data visualization projects.
