Migration Architect

• I entered a contract to perform migration of hardware server systems to cloud infrastructure. This contract was extended to include the migration of two top fortune 500 companies.
• Job consisted of planning all stages of migration, including building staging and production cloud systems, network creation, scripting of automated functions, security hardening, and final move/turnover of each website.
• Systems were a mix of Linux and Microsoft servers, including several clustered systems requiring F5 load balancer build outs (also virtual). Some of the sites required additional work including file storage and back office server migration.
• Additional requirements were handled as they came up, such as database migrations and methods to encrypt/transfer large content to the new cloud datacenter for each site.
• I also handled most of the engineering side of the migration which consisted of modifying configuration files for each website for SQL connections and troubleshooting code on the new platforms (PHP, .NET) for both IIS and Apache.

PHP/MySQL Programmer

• This was a six month contract that was extended to one year.
• Contract was created by GBCR within BOA and I was assigned to work under the lead of the GIS Department to move metric data to a new system. After the migration my contact was extended and I was put in charge of the front end design and layout of a primary metric dashboard used throughout BOA.
• Primary duties were to improve layout and design of the dashboard, add needed features as requested, and to create new metric functions on a monthly basis.
• A main feature I added to the system was an automated approval and Point of View system.
• Additional features that I developed on the system were an automated e-mail based approval system, metric feedback, POV information feedback, and various website improvements to the original CSS website layout.
• The automation of the metric system saved countless hours of manual labor in our department and provided rapid deployment of the newest datasets throughout BOA.
• I was tasked to integrate two additional applications into the interface, which were developed in house by our team.
