Support Analyst Resonate October 2024 - Present

  • Support and maintain our traffic management software solution, simulation and training systems.
  • Provide remote support to support commissioning activities or to facilitate incident resolution.

March 2023 – March 2024 SME Support Engineer Kerv

  • Worked as one of three engineers on a project for a large bank that involved migrating calls from various Nice NIM systems to Verint 15.2 WFO Voice recording systems.
  • Created multiple SQL scripts to ‘normalise’ the call data from the Nice databases into a format that the Verint import manager could understand. This involved gathering the data from various tables with various relationships and converting it into a single, large, table.
  • Created a PowerShell script to automate the retrieval of calls from EMC Centera, needed as part of the project due to a limitation of the import software. The script polled the database at a regular interval and pulled the call audio using an API in batches as needed.

IT Engineer Redbox Recorders October 2020 – March 2023

  • Provided technical support and troubleshooting to customer IT teams and resellers of Redbox voice recording software.
  • Identified, replicated, and reported bugs to the development team.
  • Helped develop and manage the knowledge base as new issues became apparent and new features were released.
  • Deployed, integrated, and troubleshooted the new micro-services based Redbox platform on customer environments.
  • Created Kibana dashboards to report on key information that was required by customers.
  • Rolled out new containers within Kubernetes as patches became available.
  • Developed a Python script that replaced a comprehensive manual health check of the system that support engineers would do. This included checks within Linux, Kubernetes, Eventstore, and Nats, which then reported into a Slack channel via Webhooks. This saved around 20 hours of support time per week at the time of implementation.
