• As the Project Leader I was responsible for overseeing the administration of each of the four databases.
• I trained and managed the team to ensure that they had the necessary database knowledge and skills.
• I also showed them how to used Access as a front end for the SQL Data to allow the users to retrieve data without having to learn all of the details required by the SQL Server tools.
• I developed plans and process manuals for SSC C Level 3 CMMI efforts. I helped write the six management plans for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Support Center, Charleston, SC (SSC C).
• I wrote the Segment Specification for the Software Engineering Center at Fort Meade, MD.
• I am a Software Engineering Institute (SEI) certified instructor and lead appraiser, and have taught the Introduction to the Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®) more than ten times.
• I participated in three Standard CMMI® Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) assessments for projects at SSC-C.

• I also worked on a short term project to help a client convert an Confidential 10g database to SQL Server 2008 database.
• I helped the client install a version of Confidential so that they could load the database from a company that they had acquired so that they could still meet Confidential obligations.
• Then, I had to analyze the existing database environment in order to map the tables, views, and procedures from Confidential to corresponding objects that would have the same functionality in SQL Server.
• Once the conversion was complete, the client was able to switch seamlessly from using the Confidential database to the SQL Server database.

Confidential, Fort Meade, Maryland

Responsibilities:

• As the Database Administrator for the Software Engineering Center, I designed and implemented the Jackpot Database by working with others to establish the requirements for the database.
• The database was designed primarily to support the collection and analysis of software measurement data.
• The database used Confidential products, including a Web Server, Developer/2000, and Net8.
• My initial work accomplished in 12 months what the previous contractor could not do in two years.
• The Jackpot Database provided a solid foundation for establishing process improvement procedures throughout the agency.
• I expanded the Jackpot Database to provide the tools to support the collection and analysis of data about the agency's diverse software systems using web pages maintained in the Confidential database.
• This effort involved designing a web-based questionnaire, collecting the data and analyzing the results.
• While the analysis is still on going, the initial prototype was built in three months.
• When I left, data had been collected on over one thousand systems almost half of the total inventory.
• As a result of this effort, the agency has established a foundation upon which decisions can be made to eliminate or keep the systems.
• I generated several ad hoc reports in response to requests from Congress.
• After building the database, I was assigned three contractors from other companies to build additional reports and data entry forms.
• I was responsible for assigning tasks and overseeing the quality of the product and data, as well as tuning the performance of the database.
• The Jackpot effort had over 1000 objects, including tables, views, and P/L SQL packages.
• During this time, I was responsible for upgrading the database from Confidential version 8i to Confidential version 9i, and for introducing the Confidential Application Server.
• I also upgraded the forms capability from Confidential Forms 6i to Confidential Forms 9i.
• All of these upgrades were performed as part of semi-annual releases.
• I also created an automated process for generating a spreadsheet compatible output on a daily basis so that it could be used by some of the analysts that were uncomfortable with accessing data directly in a database.
• My team was also responsible for creating roles and views to ensure that only authorized users had access to some of the sensitive data.
• I also put in place procedures for backing up the database on a weekly basis in addition to the backups performed by the network support group.
• I was tasked to generate a quick reaction capability to meet critical mission needs.
• The current developer was not able to provide the necessary functionality so the customer asked the Software Engineering Center if we could deliver the desired capability. In three weeks, I led the effort to design, implement, test and deploy a web-based capability that would allow users to enter either requirement information or personnel information to allow the customer to track this information, and make appropriate assignment decisions.
• The customer was very pleased with our responsiveness and quality of work.
• I added additional tables to the Jackpot Database to capture information about an effort to move UNIX applications to an NT environment.
• I also designed and helped implement a set of data entry forms to capture information about legacy databases.
• This information was provided to other contractors to help them migrate the data from the old databases to a new, more up-to-date database.
• Once again we were only given two months to deliver an initial capability. Our initial prototype was quite successful.
• Because the customer was not ready to collect data when the initial prototype was delivered, he asked for additional modifications that we added without any problems.

• Documents that I reviewed included: Software Development Plan, System Specification, System/Segment Design Document, Software Requirements Specification, Software Test Plan, Software Design Document, and Software Test Description.
• The TACINTEL II system was developed using the Shlaer-Mellor object-oriented analysis and design methodology.
• I developed the Database Administrator (DBA) portion of the database course that was taught by the Confidential of West Florida for the Confidential (NSG). These lessons taught the student a variety of DBA skills, including: how to install a SYBASE Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), allocate resources, manage user accounts and perform backups and recovery. Upon successful completion of the course, the students were ed 3 semester credit hours.
• I developed all the database lab sessions for the above database course.
• These labs covered skills ranging from accessing the database to actually designing and building simple databases.
• I designed and implemented a database to support the Air Force's Housing Information Management System.
• This effort involved converting an un-normalized Confidential Access database into a normalized Confidential database.
• These database modifications resulted in queries taking only minutes instead of hours.

• This effort involved converting an un-normalized dBase III application to work in a FoxPro environment. Additionally, I designed and developed data entry screens using FoxPro's tools.
• I assisted with the development of a Software Engineering Environment (SEE) for the Confidential Activity (NSGA) Pensacola. This SEE provided the Confidential 's Software Support Activity with a state-of-the-art programming environment for maintaining complex computer systems which range from simple personal computers to large networks of UNIX and VMS operating systems.
• I provided guidance and assistance with the analysis of data collected by NSGA Pensacola.
• This analysis has resulted in several reports on the metrics effort at NSGA Pensacola and how to improve it.
• I developed the TECHSOFT’s process manuals to support the Software Capability Maturity Model.

• I analyzed the existing Confidential databases and developed a method of accessing the data elements to make them available to the JFACC staff using a Motif-based interface and the Common Mapping Program.
• I was the lead software engineer responsible for the performance tuning of the Contingency Theater Air Control System (TACS) Automated Planning System (CTAPS) Confidential database.
• I was responsible for analyzing the database design, SQL*Forms and query structure and recommending, implementing and testing improvements.
• During this project, I was responsible for upgrading from Confidential version 6 to Confidential version 7.
• I introduced the use of PL/SQL to the other database staff. Because it is based on Ada, a language that I had been using, I was able to accomplish the quickly.
