PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Software Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Developed software for Global International Scan- Worked on a project to meld two software products together. Meld international identity verification with a newly developed document scan api allowing the company to go international. This was developed in java and java-script. The product could scan passports, drivers licenses and other forms of identification to give yes/no identity decisions.
• Security Software Remediation - Upgrade PHP portal for OWASP compliance. Member of a team of 5 software developers who upgraded a complex PHP portal of 140,000 lines of PHP code. Ran scans for SQL and command injection vulnerabilities, cross site scripting attacks and other security vulnerabilities. Re-mediated many, many security issues. When we started we identified over 5000 security vulnerabilities and by the time we finished the number was below 100 which were deemed not risky enough to fix.
• Technology Upgrades-Worked on a team that upgraded our aging technology infrastructure from old versions of PHP MYSQL and java to current and more secure versions. We also upgraded our hardware stack and operating stack to newer Red Hat versions. This resulted in a 60% improvement in our average id processing time.
• Individually developed bash shell scripts with MYSQL that allowed developers to quickly pull quality assurance data to local developer machines to allow developers to replicate extremely complex business scenarios. Our internal PHP client had literally hundreds of switches and knobs in hundreds of tables that resulted in a combinatorial explosion of scenarios that were notoriously extremely difficult to track and reproduce. 300 factorial permutations. By the time I finished I could reproduce and diagnose any scenario on my local developer machine in under 5 minutes. This also allowed all the developers to reproduce these complex scenarios while still maintaining a quality assurance clean room environment that allowed us to easily separate and understand code problems vs data problems. We were working in an environment that could not and would not tolerate any mistakes.
• Familiarity with and training in high security procedures including two-factor authentication, separation of concerns, anti-phishing training etc, etc.
• Upgraded and supported an internal Swing Client that was used to keep track of 100’s of tests written in a domain specific language.
• Developed a product feature that allowed our product manager to restrict certain customer enterprise configurations to read only status so our company could win more contracts with large banks and financial customers.
• Championed test driven development by introducing PHP Unit to developers and managers who were not familiar with test driven development. Introduced legacy PHP developers to a more object oriented style of development. Developed several widgets in PHP to clearly separate view from model and controller.
• Supported the new QA director in our move to more automated testing.
• Studied cryptography and security including post-quantum encryption and zero-knowledge proofs. Encouraged standardization on a future direction by campaigning for and supporting our membership in the Fido alliance.
