Confidential

Member of Technical Staff/Product Manager

Responsibilities:

• Successful deployment of CalAmp LMU3000, LMU3030 device in several states by American Family, Metlife, Mapfre and several pilot programs currently in progress. Novatel 3060 device development complete and ready for deployment. Scripting is employed to match custom data reporting in order to arrive at optimal streaming and burst data transport to meet accuracy and precision without exceeding data plan cost.
• Co-inventor of a priority queue scheduling scheme patent for serving UBI and Crash data buffers allowing crash notification (MEMS’ g-force accelerometer and acoustic sensor readings exceeding set thresholds) to take precedence over UBI without any loss of data.
• Offering telematics dongle security and assuring carrier that all available measures are taken to minimize risk of hacking or remote command and control of the vehicle by offering device access control, application layer and over-the-air interface encryption.
• CalAmp LMU3010 BLE performance validation when utilizing SPP over BT to ensure acknowledged UDP transport and segmentation and reassembly of BT L2 frames between the dongle and the smart mobile device cellular stack are within spec and meet service delivery requirements. Also to ensure optimal power consumption as LE per standards group body was meant for IoT and not streaming and voice with real-time latency and packet loss requirements.
• AWS app server capacity planning to ensure right level of redundancy/load balancing, failover and operational health monitoring (Icinga) REQs, availability/reliability and SLA were met and to spec.

Sr. Research Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Implemented an innovative solution for time stamp offset error correction of pcap log files attributed to instrumentation/reference time source drift. The log data will reflect performance metric of the unit under test without allowing instrumentation and test environment to skew the results.
• Effort resulted in faster data processing and reduced cost of purchasing/maintaining expensive commercial tools thus enabling continued internal custom tool development capability.

Confidential, Philadelphia, PA

Senior Sys Eng Analyst/Project Manager

Responsibilities:

• More than 90,000 cable subscriber New/MACD orders requesting static IP processed to date via automated tool which is expected to result in several $100K of savings per year in reduced Sales and Care staff costs
• Improved utilization and reclamation of scarce IPv4 public address for improved Billing and CPE configuration processes in a unified service delivery management system.

Confidential, Chandler, AZ

Sr. Network Engineer Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Processed more than 50 service requests and analyzed anomalies ranging from lack of sufficient capacity, less than nominal performance and recommending mitigation including bandwidth increase, site to data center bulk transfer reconfiguration/upgrade, application execution schedule change from production to non-production hours utilizing O&M tools including InfoVista, NetQoS, HPNA, and NetScout NGenius.
• Consolidation resulting in BW savings, improved performance and less need for duplicate infrastructure and tools/appliances

Confidential, Gilbert, AZ

Sr. Network Analyst Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Comparison and license restriction analysis associated with the proposed scheme vs. HSRP (Hot Standby Router protocol), VRRP (Virtual Redundancy Router Protocol), and GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol).
• Extending end-of-life on legacy by maximizing return on investment
• Simple failover scheme provides users a less costly alternative to more expensive options.

Confidential, Scottsdale, AZ

Member of Technical Staff Systems Engineer

Responsibilities:

• MUOS TCP/IP v4/v6 architect; a large scale, global distributed secure satellite based wireless network for warfighter with highly stringent performance and QoS requirement, given GEO satellite up and downlink paths consuming a large portion of the end-to-end latency budget, forcing terrestrial subsystem a small latency margin. Led QoS architecture design and presented during PDR.
• Led a team to develop test, execution and report generation for the WCDMA Radio Access Network (Sony-Ericsson RBS/RNC with customized HSS) Information Assurance (IA) requirements using NESSUS, RETINA, and SECScans. It involved network, database and web requirements flow down and scanning the network at each build assessing vulnerabilities and deviations, working closely with IA lead that resulted in certification of the ground system access network.
• Led an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP), Technical Directive to provide MUOS communication/apportionment planners a dynamic real-time resource management tool integrated with resource policy manager and network management monitoring appliances. The work resulted in a potential additional contract valued at more than $20M.
• Led core network build 2 and 3 responsible for test case, test procedure and report generation as part of FQT and FAT. Managed test cases and validation and compliance to standards, communication capacity planning and QoS/performance analysis.
• Led a Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) with prime contractor and customer to review Teleport ICD in reaching an agreement on inter-domain routing, failover, firewall rule, IP address allocation and filtering.
• Integrated heterogeneous network domains with different security level requirements, for a low cost, high availability design while maintaining an open architecture for easy integration into the xIPRNET defense communication networks.
• Highly experienced in DISA’s STIG network, web, database requirements and their application to system under development for eventual certification of compliance to security standards and NSA requirements.
• Added Visual Basic code to a custom database for IPv4 and IPv6 subnet lookup (represented in CIDR notation) capability, eliminating the need for on-line IP calculators which their use alone could potentially be a security risk.
• Led architectural trade study of FAA proposal for modernization of ground-air based control and communication by leveraging SOA based Situational Awareness (SA) data messaging (i.e., Radio over IP (RoIP) vs. fixed voice channel (non-message based) communication to improve spectrum utilization in congested airspace while remaining compliant with FAA/ICAO and minimal need for recertification. A phased migration plan to take advantage of feature rich IPv4/v6 (security, mobility, routing, failover) open system architecture and APIs.
• Authored proposal chapters and served as a member of Systems’ IPT on Recue 21, Secure Wireless LAN, SECOMP-I, NAIS, and IWIN.
• Authored an ICD for Land Warrior and FBCB2 communication interface. Also a technical and subcontract manager led Mod & Sim for Land Warrior project. Provided network support for CoMotion (synchronous and asynchronous collaborative work space enabling data sharing, data visualization, and messaging) demo at Naval Air Warfare Center in San Diego. Task lead on Future Combat System (FCS) and WIN-T projects.
• Served as technical domain expert to the project network architect and Systems IPT, new business and proposal team on a regular basis.
