The company had a very aggressive release schedule that required me to be readily available to address any possible change(s) that may affect the release target date. Some releases require me to upload extensions to the Chrome WebStore (CWS). Releases are carefully documented and maintained within Confluence (Atlassian). We also use JIRA as part of our tracking tool. Build scripts that I maintain are written in Bash/Python and batch scripting languages for software developed in .NET, Java, JavaScript and Xcode 6.
