• I am interested in any employment opportunities you might have now concerning Technical Lead / SOLR Search SME positions you might have. Please regard this letter as my formal application.
• I have over 13 years of Java programming experience with 15 years of total Information Technology work. I am experienced in 3 tier multi-threaded enterprise environments and familiar in working with complex data mining and data analysis with enterprise search using SOLR indexing over 5 TB of complex data. I have managed several contracts ranging from 250,000 - 1.2 million and a staff of 2-10 with direct reports to site managers and stakeholders. I have also worked with several RDBMS tools (Oracle, SQL and DB2), Java (J2EE, JMS, JDBC, Swing and various frameworks), and .net (Visual Basic, C #and ASP). Developed cloud SaaS products and local desktop applications for the private and government sector; working with visualization software (VMware, Hyper-V, Centrify and HBSS SCAP development) and Microsoft windows Azure.
• Some of my major s include subcontracting at TSA/DHS assisting with the development of a vetting system from bottom up development for small and large airlines, development of secure NIST standard systems for Information assurance operators, Virtual workstation and artifact workflow management for the NSA and data ingest with analytics for the DOD Office of small business programs. These all included document management, web content management, search and workflow management with strict business rules using MVC structured code and architecture to act a service. I managed weekly and monthly meetings with stakeholders, executive staff and security personnel to evaluate best practices and initiated requirements gathering sessions. Handled risk mitigation, legacy migration and other enterprise planning procedures working with several different architecture divisions. I have developed enterprise business objects for vetting passengers, passing contextual responses within a messaging system, ingesting and manipulating desperate data, updating front end content for surveys, ingesting artifacts and maintaining security and access control. Worked with synchronous and asynchronous applications to present real time data for accurate processing and decision making. Acted as a process improvement and development method evangelist as an agent of change on several projects ranging from 10 -15 person teams.
• I am most proud of the resource management software for the NSA/R4 division that needed a tool to maintain and protect artifacts from special research projects. We needed to give them a secure storage solution using NetApp, a metadata strategy using SQL, Entity Framework and a proprietary API called the RTSA framework (Resource, Type, State, and Action). I learned Aspera for pdf creation for print outs and SOLR to index with contextual search capabilities of non-common documents. I also lead and created the initiation of a virtual workstation tool built on VMware with a front control interface built on a propriety C# service module to send and receive responses from VMware and Centrify for drive mounting with Active Directory Controls.
• I am currently finishing up my bachelor’s degree in computer science with a minor in software engineering. I plan to pursue a master’s degree in computer science and go on to information management for research and development of new software applications for government and private sectors.
• I am available for an interview at a mutually convenient time.
