[ Principal Consultant | Systems Engineer | Systems Analyst | Message Systems Network
Engineer ]
[ Automated Data
Processing Officer ]
Assist client
management and technical staffs of large
organizations in understanding, designing, and
constructing client-server applications. Specialize
in software and systems development, messaging, and
relational database development.
- Worked as
program manager in a development team of a
major athletic shoe and apparel manufacturer
to develop a business application based on a
3-tier client-server architecture. Lead the
team on a very ambitious delivery schedule;
met all of the project's objectives on-time
and under budget.
- Assisted in the
design and construction of a maintenance work
order and job tracking system for a major
truck manufacturer. In troubleshooting the
database conversion process, designed and
implemented complex analysis queries for the
application database. These analysis queries
generate queries on a relational database
that identify inconsistencies in referential
integrity based on the state of the foreign
keys of the database. These analysis queries
can generally be applied to any relational
database.
- Designed and
implemented a batch data redistribution
process for the budget analysis department of
a regional Bell Telephone operating company.
This process provided rudimentary automatic
data replication over a wide geographic area
prior to this feature's availability in SQL
Server 6.0.
- Previous
Microsoft Corporation MCS assignments
included the Mid-Atlantic Practice,
Washington D.C., and PacWest Practice,
Portland, Oregon.
Science Applications
International Corporation (SAIC), McLean, VA
1993-1994
Provide systems
engineering, software engineering, technical
consulting, and marketing services as a member of the
Software and Systems Integration Group of a
scientific consulting company.
- Selected as the
Systems Engineering Lead on the FBI's
Interstate Identification Index (III)
database modernization project. This project
centers on a migration from mainframe to
client/server technology.
- Designed an
enterprise level, high performance,
mission-critical, client/server database
system incorporating symmetric
multiprocessing computers (SMP), Oracle7's
Parallel Server, Tuxedo's on-line transaction
processing (OLTP) monitor, and redundant
array of inexpensive disks (RAID) technology.
This design was submitted to FBI acquisitions
as part of a competitive bid and was selected
over several other bids for a significant
$180 million development contract win.
- Designed and
managed the development of an
enterprise-level client/server automated
auditing application for the cost management
division of a major long-distance telephone
service provider (migrating from mainframe
computers, db2, and FOCUS to a workgroup
oriented, client/server architecture
involving Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT
Advanced Server, Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle7, and UNIX).
- Conducted
extensive trade studies of a large number of
vendors that offer leading-edge technologies;
these studies identified proven (low-risk)
implementations of SMP and RDBMS systems that
met stringent performance and availability
criteria.
BoozAllen &
Hamilton, Inc., Washington, D.C. 1992-1993
Provided technical
consulting services to the US Navy's Space and Naval
Warfare Systems Command (SPAWARSYSCOM), the Law
Enforcement Agency/DoD Anti-Drug Network (ADNET), and
internal research and development initiatives.
Possessed a TS/SBI security clearance.
- Consolidated and
documented the SPAWAR OSS Laboratory's
Testing, Demonstration, and Training
databases onto a single server, maximizing
the use of the laboratory's computing
resources.
- Successfully
integrated and delivered (to the USCG on
time) an $80,000 HP 9000/750 Server
consisting of 8 Gigabytes of disk space and
12 software systems that required extensive
porting work and documentation. The software
systems included: Emerald (1.02 & 1.03),
Unified Build (JOTSII), Sybase, Oracle, VPE,
Rapport, Z-Mail, elm, Oilstock, ELT-2
(imaging), and Pixel!FX. This configuration
was used as the standard for assembly line
implementations of many such servers on
HP-UX, Ultrix, AIX, and Solaris.
- Conducted an
arduous port of a large software system
(Emerald 1.03) from DEC platforms to the HP
9000 for the Defense Intelligence Agency and
the ADNET.
Defense Information
Systems Agency (DISA), Washington, D.C. 1990-1992
Developed procedures
and requirements for the Defense Message System
(DMS). Configured military messaging solutions that
involved open systems. Member of an international
standards and protocols development task force
(ACP-123). Possessed a TS/SBI (SCI) security
clearance.
- Implemented and
managed the DMS Central Projects Beta Test
Facility; integrated over $117,000 in
hardware and software.
- Proposed and
obtained approval of a $1.6 million budget to
develop the DMS Beta Testbed Network.
- Conducted a
feasibility study on a development project
that resulted in a $172,000 cost savings on
planned equipment acquisitions.
US Army Field
Artillery, West Germany 1986-1990
As an Army Captain
(Operations Officer), analyzed Automated Data
Processing (ADP) problems and processes; designed,
tested, and implemented software and hardware systems
for an organizational operations (command) center.
Supervised the maintenance, deployment, installation,
and operation of a battalion's TACFIRE tactical fire
control computer and digital communications system
that monitored and controlled up to 12 nuclear
capable artillery firing batteries in a fast-paced,
technically demanding environment.
- Designed a
maintenance reporting program that converted
the labor intensive task of producing weekly
status reports from a 4-day to a 2-hour
process.
- Developed a
departmental computer literacy training
program, teaching classes on microcomputer
operating systems, office automation
software, and introductory programming.
- Taught the
"Structured Programming and Problem
Solving" course for the City Colleges of
Chicago after work hours.
