Systems Engineer

• Developed / tested Security Content Automation Protocol SCAP Content and validated using auditing tools SCAP Compliance Checker SPAWAR, DISA , Ovaldi NIST, NetIQ -SCAPMar for SPAWAR IRS Information Assurance software development program. This was the end point of the process of converting IT Security Policy into the tests and checks used to verify compliance of servers, workstations, etc. systems of the IRS IT enterprise. Developed several for us new concepts in order to make content more efficient reduced lines of XML content from approximately 35000 / platform to 10000, human-understandable and therefore: maintainable. The goal was to create content unavailable before our effort which will be used by the IRS with their infrastructure compliance tool.
• Developed XML database application for management / development of Security Content Automation Protocol SCAP for the SPWAR IRS Software Dev. Group. The goal was to make SCAP content development and maintenance tasks more efficient, less error-prone and to allow the reuse of content. Task was 85 complete -- One could use the application to create, update/modify, export etc. SCAP OVAL content before being shelved for higher priority projects.
• Automated business practices HR Resource and Hardware Asset management of the VA Program Support Office. Developed Automated tools PERL Scripts for migration from Excel/ flat file data to DBMS, Database MySQL and User Interface Web GUI PHP/Apache for SPAWAR Veterans Administration Program Support Office. Migrated DBMS Schema and GUI to utilize MS SQL Server 2008.
• Member of team which developed solutions to meet VA requirements for replacement of ONE VA VPN IpSec which was not compatible with SPAWAR issued laptops. Solution met goal of meeting SPAWAR and VA system security requirements and user needs. Systems Integration Analyst
