Progress Software 2025 – present ### Automating a multi-product content program with AI review agents Progress runs a steady stream of blog content across several products and websites, and coordinating it all by hand took a big chunk of every week. I designed and built the automation that now carries that work from topic idea to published post. * AI agents review every proposed topic before an editor sees it. * Each draft gets several AI reviews in parallel, plus a technical review, before it reaches the content team. * Writer assignments, draft handoffs, and invoices flow automatically through email and the team’s existing tools. * Every workflow is covered by end-to-end tests so changes ship without breaking the pipeline.

Their PowerShell module has nearly 500 commands and had no PowerShell-level tests. I built a data-driven Pester framework that tests it against multiple data sources and runs in their CI/CD pipeline before each release. It’s part of a PowerShell engineering engagement that has renewed continuously since 2022. * Data-driven Pester test framework, run automatically before production deploys. * A full review of the Remote Desktop Manager PowerShell module. * How-to guides, identity provider templates, and Script Library scripts for Devolutions customers.
