About Gerald Litchfield

Hi, my name is.I am a CI/CD professional at BambooHR. I use AI to innovate on our rapid build and deployment system that supports our pace of around 30 releases per day, running hundreds of build and deployment steps and thousands or unit tests. In addition to keeping stage and production environments, I was able to train our tech organization to understand and use AI tools and apply AI in their daily tasks. I joined BambooHR after 17 years of experience in Software Development, including roles as a Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Database Administrator, Data Analyst, Team Lead, and Technical Product Owner working on critical Public Safety Software.I am working to gain some additional achievements in my new position, but greatness takes time, so for now you will need to settle for some accomplishments from my previous jobs.Professional Accomplishments Cocreated a set of 6, 3-hour AI trainings, and oversaw 7 employees running AI training for 500 employees, personally running 100 hours of training. Product Owner for two software products, with $8M yearly revenue. Implemented agile processes reducing a backlog of 300 defects to 0. Team Lead on a $1.3M project for Utah Highway Patrol to upgrade field reports, usingagile methods and automated DevOps processes to reduce delays. SQL Server Database Administrator design, optimization, and on-call support. Skilled Communicator, comfortable presenting to C-suite, large groups, high-profilecustomers, government officials, and state representatives.Favorite ProjectI was the lead on upgrading an entire suite of statistical reports from scratch for a Public Safety records management system, including geospatial (address-specific) analysis for citation, incident, and collision data. How many traffic accidents involving pedestrians were at that dangerous intersection? How many traffic accidents were due to distracted drivers on a cell phone? How many miles over the speed limit were vehicles traveling when they got a speeding ticket? How much impact does the weather have on vehicles losing control? burglaries? retail theft? Do red cars speed more often? get pulled over more often? Can you generate those stats with a yearly comparison for the last 5 years showing any trends? Can you schedule those reports to appear in my email every week?That is what I did.I loved working with that data!I am now looking for my next adventure.
