Systems Engineer/Sr. Systems Engineer
- Held an active DoD TS/SCI clearance with SSBI and Poly
- Was a leader within the special programs area specializing in the planning, costing, configuration, and maintenance of all the systems at the factory and the customer's operations center. Was responsible, specifically, for the configuration and maintenance of IBM, SUN and StorageTek products at the factory and delivery of new configurations and maintenance changes to our customer's network and new SAN infrastructures at their operations center.
- Performed systems and cost analysis for critical IT inputs for a major customer proposal for technologies that would be a follow on addition to current production systems.
- Successfully analyzed resource contentions justifying spending a small amount of money to build another rail of equipment which allowed parallel development that ended up making all the Data Processing Enterprise teams meet their schedules on time and still stay within budget.
- Researched and implementing a major hardware and operating system upgrade for the customer's primary control interface making it possible to move the operations to the next generation of capabilities.
- Performed at all levels of total system product delivery to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, and training for a Linux implementation within a SOA Service Oriented Architecture and a customer's COOP vision for the south west region, that succeeded and allowed greater flexibility and maximized our total systems design for disaster recovery and systems usability.
