EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

System Engineer

Confidential

Provided on-site software system testing support to United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) in the development of the Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) Counter Intelligence/Human Intelligence (CI/HUMINT) Portal (DCHIP) and Defense Cross-Domain Analytic Capability (DCAC) which integrated a true multi-level security data repository with a collection of Government Off The Shelf (GOTS) and Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) information ingestion, extraction and retrieval tools to provide a controlled interface to multi-level compartmented security. Recent focus has been on the report interface sending from Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Automated Reporting and Collection System (CHARCS) to DCHIP where the reports are immediately ingested into workflow and DCHIP to CHARCS. This was exclusively hands-on testing in which software is executed using test scripts and comprehensive results including anomalies are documented. A complete set of test scripts was written to thoroughly test assigned areas of DCHIP and CHARCS.

This included both automated testing using Selenium and hands-on testing in which software was executed using test scripts and all results including bugs thoroughly documented. Authored test scripts to verify all security accreditation requirements in DCID 6/3 were met. DCAC was housed on the following hardware: 1) SunFire V490, 2) PowerEdge 2950 and 1950. The software testing consisted of two types: 1) Dirty Word Testing in which it was demonstrated that the Ingest system flagged all prohibited incoming words and phrases 2) Auditable Event testing of the Linux Operating System located on a SunFire V490, Ingest, Query Tree (QT), Named Area of Interest (NAI), and Nagios, all located on PowerEDge 2950s. The types of auditable events produced by the testing were 1) login/logoff with location, 2) admin actions taken with accountability, 3) virus scan results, 4) tripwire scan results, 5) submission of queries, 6) viewing and printing messages, and 7) saving and distributing messages.

As a Systems Engineer, performed engineering and IV&V related tasks on the RAPIDE Program for the Systems Management Directorate (SMD) of HQ 66th MI Bde, Augsburg, Germany. RAPIDE evolved from its initial goal of automating the Echelons Above Corps Intelligence Center (EACIC), into a functionally distributed, mobile, deployable system of tactical intelligence databases and application servers, with full communications capabilities supporting the principal USAREUR army elements; such as the Intelligence Support Elements (ISEs), the USAREUR Combat Intelligence Readiness Facility (UCIRF), and the U.S. Army Fifth Corps. RAPIDE integrated a local area network (LAN), RAPIDE Analyst Workstations (RAWS), and a Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) into the all source intelligence and analysis arm of DIA’s Delegated Production System (DPS), renamed Shared Production System (SPS), under the auspices of the Military Intelligence Integrated Data System (MIIDS) program. Working on-site in Heidelberg and Augsburg, Germany, responsibilities included acting as USAREUR’s representative to the Theater Order of Battle Automation Committee (TOBAC), whose charter was to oversee all theater automation activity. Managed an effort which generated a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the 66th MI Bde and USEUCOM culminating in the award of an IDB site license for UCIRF. Coordinated the initial request for on-site IDB installation and supervised testing of the DIA-owned IDB-II system for Field Station Augsburg, 66th MI Brigade. Authored an MOA between 66th MI Bde and US European Command (USEUCOM) for an initial data load and subsequent weekly updates of IDB data.
