Systems Architect

Responsibilities:

• Continually researched opportunities for improving existing business and manufacturing processes for purpose of improving existing platforms, or by the introduction of new and innovative processes and technologies.
• Created architectural models of secure network (SLAN) using Archimate notation which identified relationships and elements between Business, Process, Data, Application, and Technology layers which identified the scope of business impact and criticality applications and servers. This assisted in quantifying the priority at which platforms should be recovered in the event of a disaster.
• Interviewed business management and staff and researched policies and regulations to identify business, process, technical, and security requirements for creating a portable, client based, secure document library for highly sensitive (NNPI) Navy and NNS Nuclear Engineering manuals.
• Analyzed and then created solution scope document, architectural drawings, and feasibility estimate for QUMU Video Hosting Solution.
• Analyzed and then created solution scope document, architectural drawings, and feasibility estimate for “Single Sign-on” (SSO) solution that permitted users and applications to avoid logging into server based applications after they have already been authenticated to the corporate Windows Domain.
• Architected SharePoint 2010 Server Farm Solution’s logical, physical, storage, and database architecture.
• Architected SharePoint 2013 Server Farm Solution’s logical, physical, storage, and database architecture.
• Designed SharePoint Service Catalogue, and associated catalogue item request processes for HP Service Manager.
• Prepared Architecture Scope for BizTalk Server Solution which included physical and software architecture, 64+ interfaces to 19 different systems. The data flow and interface drawing created for this project provided a holistic view of system interfaces and data flow which provided a “ripple effect” view of data that flowed between different business data repositories and technology platforms.
• Member of NNS’s Enterprise Information Management Team. This team task is to create NNS’s new Information architecture (IA). This team and new IA is to define and govern NNS’s corporate wide Enterprise Content Management (ECM) strategy which encompasses three areas: Document Management, Web Content Management, and Records Management.

• Member of SPOG. The SPOG prioritizes and governs the rollout of SharePoint’s to business units, and release of SharePoint’s capabilities and functionalities to end-users in coordination with SPTWG.
• Created reusable workbooks that captured logical and physical elements of SharePoint architecture as well for rolling department and other sites for all of NNS
• Created reusable workbooks that captures and calculates individual server requirements for CPU, RAM, and Storage, and then totals amounts and cost for each environment.
