PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

NoSQL Technical Trainer

Confidential, Baltimore MD

Responsibilities:

• Architected, designed, and developed large solutions in alignment with the agency level enterprise architecture, federal enterprise architecture, federal health IT architecture, and Transformation Roadmap for CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). This is the new medicare and medicaid system passed by Congress. Setup a proof of concept environment to demonstrate new technologies being applied to the solution. Used this environment to train staff on the technical solutions. Designed and built Java class libraries to solve tough technical issues dealing with integrating the new system with an extremely diverse set of existing systems, applications, and components. Analyzed existing applications and systems used by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) for management of Medicare and Medicaid Services. Redesigned a large number of databases on multiple platforms into one database with a much smaller number of tables to reside on one platform. Designed cache forwarding architecture to get data where it is needed before it is asked for in order to greatly increase the performance of reporting and data analysis.
• CMS possesses a large number of extremely large databases with complex joins between the tables. The customers for these databases are health care providers, including hospitals, doctors, medical practice groups, trauma centers, and other medical provider types. There are over 1 million customers.
• Queries against these databases are slow because the data sets are extremely large and there are complex joins. Also, the hardware that the databases are installed on are not adequate for the task.
• Analysis of the queries shows that each medical provider queries for their own data, and in most cases over the past three to six months. The data sets which each medical provider will be looking at are very small, so it is inefficient to conduct such queries against extremely large data sets.
• I designed a system where the data is distributed across the entire network and customer connections to the system are routed to the correct store based on who the health care provider is. For example, when Mayo Clinic connects, they are routed to the store containing Mayo Clinic data for the last six months on the node closest to the Mayo Clinic connection point.
• This system achieved extremely high improvements in performance and was implemented by a very small team in a very aggressive time frame.

Skills Utilized: Teradata, Oracle 10g and 11g, Cognos, Bi Publisher, OBIEE, Oracle ESB, Mule 3.2, Hadoop, Hive, HDFS, Coherence, Java SE 6 and SE 7, PL/SQL, SQL, NIO

Confidential, Boston MA

Performance Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Lead investigator, architect, and developer for an SBIR phase II project sponsored by the Confidential . The purpose of the SBIR was to develop a new technology to be used by war fighters in integrating data from many different sources at extremely high speeds, in many different formats, handling real time feeds, and then making it possible to search, analyze, and review the data using English terms instead of technical jargon. A big requirement was to be able to integrate with any data source whether that was an RDBMS, data coming to a socket, an RSS or ATOM feed, a mainframe database, a real time feed from sensors, or intelligence gathering systems, or any other source of data.
• We set up several different data aggregator platforms and built a method for feeding these platforms from MULE. We used Cassandra, Hadoop and Coherence in order to demonstrate these platforms. Designed and built a cloud provision service for providing data from the cloud. This cloud can be used in high security military environments. Designed and built many web services for accessing remote data stores and converting the data into a form that is more English in nature and storing this data in a variety of data stores such as Hadoop and Coherence. In many cases we used the Service Component Assembly architecture approach and put service endpoints on the remote system, these endpoints then accessed the remote system using its technology and returned the result as a service call return. Security was very important to this project. All components including web services, web servlets, java components, etc, had to be able to pass the military’s top level security guidelines.
• This project was highly successful, when demonstrated to the AFRL personnel they were quite impressed. This need of being able to integrate data from many very different sources into a form which can be searched, reformatted, and shaped using English phrases is very important and is a known hard problem.

Skills Utilized: SOA, IBM Rational System Architect, Oracle Exadata x2-2, Oracle Coherence v3.5, Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3.2, Oracle Weblogic Server 11g, WSDL, WS-BPEL, SCA Assembly Model, Cloud Computing Strategy and Implementation, Restful Web Services, MULE 3.x, S4, Cassandra, Hadoop, Hive, HDFS, Agile Modeling, Oracle Database 10g, DataPower XI50 Integration Appliance, Sockets, ATOM, RSS, Java EE 6, Java SE 6, NIO, Html, JavaScript, Hibernate 3.0-3.6, Hibernate 2.0-2.x, Spring 1.x-3.x, many military data sources and schemas

Confidential, Indianapolis IN

Performance Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Confidential desires to take an existing logistics, asset visibility, and asset readiness application and integration platform and rearchitect / rewrite the application so that it is based on a SOA platform and has real time performance and processes data streams in real time. My role was to determine the system specifications, lead the business process modeling effort, write the use cases and scenarios, define the infrastructure and software architecture, define the services, create a detailed design, and impelement several advanced case studies. Once the services were defined, we then designed a SOA infrastructure and assisted the Confidential developers in implementing the infrastructure. I also acted as a senior technical advisor and senior developer for Weblogic and Oracle products and SOA technologies and techniques. Data integration from many different remote systems in real time was an important feature. We used S4, and a cache forwarding architecture based on Oracle Coherence, Cassandra, and Hadoop to achieve this. We designed and built a number of web services which could query a specific technology and change the data structure from its vendor specific structure into our structure and move the data to Hadoop and Coherence, future requests for the data were then extremely fast. Also, we built a prediction model which could predict what data a user would need before the data was asked for and move the data to the local nodes. Because one of the clients of this project is the US military, security was a critical issue on this project. All development conformed to the military’s top security guidelines.
• Confidential desired to take an existing logistics, asset visibility, and asset readiness application and integration platform and re-architect / rewrite the application so that it is based on a SOA platform. This application was required to be fully configurable and highly performant. It was a requirement that business processes could be modeled and then executed through screens easy to use by end users. My role was to determine the system specifications, lead the business process modeling effort, write the use cases and scenarios, define the infrastructure and software architecture, and define the services. Then to implement the system. Once the services were defined, we then designed a SOA infrastructure and assisted the Confidential developers in implementing the infrastructure. I also acted as a senior technical advisor for Weblogic and Oracle products and SOA technologies and techniques.
• Data integration from many different remote systems was an important feature. We accomplished this by designing and building a number of services which could query a specific technology and change the data structure from its vendor specific structure into our structure. Because one of the clients of this project is the US military, security was a critical issue on this project. All development conformed to the military’s top security guidelines. We used a variety of products such as Hadoop, Solr, Couch, Hbase in order to aggregate data across a large number of databases such as Oracle, and mainframe databases. We exposed the data in a form so that access could be accomplished by end users describing what they needed in an interface. This is simple to do with a Map/Reduce technology such as Hadoop, but is very difficult to do using a relational technology such as Oracle.

Enterprise Architect

Confidential, Hanscomb AFB, MA

Responsibilities:

• The Air Force desires to create an entirely new approach to system acquisition and legacy system integration which will make any application or system acquired in the future seamlessly integrate with any other system or application. My role was to design, build, and demonstrate a working system based on war fighter battlefield operation case studies. To accomplish this, I created a methodology, a architecture, SOA frameworks, a front end to Hadoop and Coherence, and necessary Java libraries which would make it possible to accomplish this goal. In addition I produced a model of the business processes and battlefield operations and demonstrated how technology could be applied to the processes and operations in order to radically improve their performance in achieving the commander’s goals and objectives. Security was a big issue. All development conformed to the military security guidelines.
• Data integration across a large number of diverse platforms was an important aspect of this system. The military has a large number of systems that store data in very different formats. One chief requirement was to provide services which could connect to remote data stores, gather the data, and reformat it to be stored in a more user friendly system which the war fighters can then access. We used Hadoop to accomplish this.
• The military is very interested in using advanced technology in order to change the way they conduct combat missions in order to make the missions much more effective, reducing civilian casualties, speeding up the tempo of the missions, and avoiding Allied casualties. I led a small team in analyzing a wide collection of mission types and investigating how application of new technologies could greatly change the tempo and outcome of these missions.
• Something that is immediately apparent, is the importance of having the right data in the right place at the right time. A combat organization possesses a very large amount of data. The amount of data needed by a combat team is, in comparison, quite small. Accessing the data is difficult, since the bandwidth is limited. Also, war fighters are not technical experts, so getting the right data requires an interface which uses English as its protocol.
• I led a team which built a prototype system using Hadoop, which puts all the data needed for the task at hand where the war fighters are, so accessing this data is extremely fast. The project was very successful and senior military leaders came to see demonstrations of the results.
• On this project, I was the lead investigator, architect, and senior developer. The purpose of the research was to develop a new technology to be used by war fighters in integrating data from many different sources in many different formats and then making it possible to search, analyze, and review the data using English terms instead of technical jargon. A big requirement was to be able to integrate with any data source whether that was an RDBMS, data coming to a socket, an RSS or ATOM feed, a mainframe database, or any other source of data.
