   Visa Inc. is a global payments technology company that connects consumers, businesses, financial institutions, and governments in more than 200 countries and territories to fast, secure and reliable electronic payments. We operate one of the world’s most advanced processing networks — VisaNet — that is capable of handling more than transaction messages a second, with fraud protection for consumers and assured payment for merchants. Visa’s innovations, however, enable its financial institution customers to offer consumers more choices: pay now with debit, pay over time with installments, pay ahead with prepaid or pay later with credit products. Within the New Payment Flows division, the Build, Release & Deployment teams ensure expedient quality, security and reliability of Visa’s API products as new features and products deploy to our production environments; while also ensuring an innovative and strategic technology position for the development, testing and deployment of our products. New Flows is a strategic platform enabling Global Money Movement and Disbursements. From paying suppliers and employees to friends and family, Visa Direct enables quick and easy money movement. Visa Direct is a network that can help financial institutions move money 24/7/365 to billions of endpoints in 180+ countries and 160 currencies.As Release Management, Release Engineering & Automation is a wide array of responsibilities, our unique expertise begins in ideation and follows through to post production and \"run\". From looking to opportunities for \"bundling\" to ensuring our Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment automation is cutting edge, the Release Managers and DevOps Engineers within the team strive for speed, agility, availability, security and governance. I take personal pride in working and developing a talented team of engineers to collaborate and build the New Payment Flows - Visa Direct Release Capability from Development through to Production.
