Projects

Testing Automation using Jenkins

This project was successfully completed during my internship at IBM, where I designed and implemented a robust CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, Python, Groovy, z/OS, and Bash scripting. The pipeline automated weekly testing, reducing the process time by 75%, eliminating 4–6 hours of manual work, and allowing the team to focus on higher-priority tasks. Additionally, I integrated the pipeline with Slack to deliver real-time automated test reports, significantly enhancing result visibility and facilitating quicker, more effective failure investigations.

Source Code

Document Store & Search Engine

This project was a 5-stage program where I implemented HashTables, Stacks, Tries, Heaps, and BTrees from scratch using Java. I also wrote unit tests with JUnit and Maven and used the JSON library. The final product was a document search engine that stored documents and managed memory with two-tier storage (RAM and Disk). This project reinforced my coding skills and taught me how to effectively manage memory, work with different data structures, and search for solutions to complex problems.
