SUMMARY:

• I am a Technical Architect (System/Application) with computer systems experience spanning a wide range of business applications.
• I have extensive experience in the design, development, and deployment of Object - Oriented (OO) software using relational databases in SOA / Web based environments.
• I currently specialize in Java based enterprise implementations where security and performance are key.
• This includes hands on troubleshooting, implementation, system reviews, specialized security testing, practical mentoring for developers, and closely working with infrastructure support personnel.
• These systems include State and Federal programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, Cash / TANF, Rehabilitation Services (DRS), Child Care (CCMS), Long Term Care, Contract / Grant Systems, WIC, and many other program areas.
• The Federal programs currently, or are starting to require, FISMA / NIST / MARS compliance for all areas of these systems.
• My current duties are to determine system compliance, determine and implement corrective action as necessary, and finally, review the outcome of any activities with the Confidential Security Officer who then provides the result to the Federal Authorities.
• My diverse background encompasses software development, maintenance, hardware maintenance, network design, and end user support which provide a well rounded view of systems I support. My broad experience and technical proficiencies, coupled with effective leadership skills and team spirit, make myself a valuable part of any software engineering team.
