PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Reston, VA

Senior Systems Engineer

Responsibilities:

• In my current role I’m chartered with systems requirements development & management, system and component design & development, analysis, integration and test, calibration, and system performance & verification, as well as operational support
• I routinely utilize good oral and written communication skills which is essential in addressing technical & programmatic issues in both formal and informal settings with upper management, Government Customer(s), and with our Sub-Contractor Teammates.
• Peripheral tasks include research and utilization of my past experience in generating and interpreting engineering/technical documentation. I’ve created a web based document repository database system to enable our Field Support Engineers that are overseas a quicker and focused mechanism to retrieve pertinent drawing and other block diagrams they use to complete field modifications. The code is written in Java, JavaScript, and PHP; I stood up and host it on a Tomcat web server using a PostgreSQL Database I populated using Java code I wrote to crawl our SharePoint folders using RegEx to find only drawings (eg Mechanical, Electrical, etc.)

Confidential, Hagerstown, MD

Project Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Project Engineer leading technical integration of anti-jam/anti-spoof GPS systems for SOCOM STAMP aircraft.
• Successfully managed all technical, schedule and budget aspects of Engineering effort to develop, modify, test, and deploy US Army aircraft including air worthiness release (AWR) substantiation.
• Used my software skills to write java code to access JIRA via REST to automate the reporting mechanism to track performance and earned value on the project.
• Wrote code in order to automate a mechanism to create Mechanical/Drawing Trees, which is a block diagram that shows how physical components are assembled for an aircraft part. - Using my knowledge of database, java, and minimum spanning trees; I wrote java code using POI to parse our Excel Based CM repo, then setup a PostgreSQL server to store the data and make the query 50k records about drawings, then used java data structures like HashTables to create a MST in memory, then dumped the results into a file format that can be read by GraphViz that will convert graphical/block diagram of the MST. The impact resulted in reducing a manual task that was taking (my personnel on my budget for STAMP) 60 hours to create, down to seconds.

Principal Systems Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Systems Engineer; responsible for requirements analysis, tracking and traceability. Tasks included loading, managing requirements in DOORS (or MS Excel), writing DXL code for importing/exporting and publishing requirement specifications. Responsible SE for all DoD programs including ARMS 902nd and EMARSS which included peripheral activities like trade studies, proposal writing, managing Estimate To Completion (ETC) in JIRA.
• Wrote code in Java to access the JIRA REST API to expedite the creation of reports for EVM, ETC, personnel performance, and JIRA items on the critical path.
• Software Engineer; responsible for writing Java and C++ code for mission management system (MMS) called Orion for the all programs including EMARSS. Tasks included coding using Git, coding in JOGL, java and C++ multi-threading, and code in Java Swing as the front end. Tasks included configuring Git, Jenkins on Windows.

Confidential, Kearneysville, WV

Senior Principal Business Process Architect and Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Contractor working for USCG.
• Designed and implemented the Requirements Management schema in DOORS; the application used for BA’s to develop requirements. Developed DXL scripts to support the following activities: publishing Business REQ Docs (BRD), inspection of REQs traceability, schema verification using GraphViz for visualization, Regular Expression to flag weak requirements, inventory and metrics analysis reports used for tracking progress (EVM).
• Performed analysis of USCG implementation of UserRoles within PeopleSoft by coding a Java application to identify anti-best practices through the use of graphing algorithms such as Bron-Kerbosch, clustering, between-ness centrality, redundancy, and non-mutual exclusion.
• Lead the Development of a software prototype tool I created called DDART to analyze the impact and dataflow of DMDC between DoD and CG-1 used to manage personnel tracking and benefits administration. The tool was a MSAccess database that contained a subset of personnel database system with custom GUI and SQL scripts that I developed to identify errors in the database. I created the scripts as means to mitigate the lack of primary/foreign keys/data consistency in the PeopleSoft Oracle database for USCG-1.
• Designed the conceptual SystemArch Integration Layer for how the Arch team will map DODAF products to the REQs (BRD) products and coded a DOORS DXL script to publish the full-traceability to CG-66 website ( trace down 3-levels in SystemArch into 4-levels in the DOORS REQs.)

Business Analyst IV

Responsibilities:

• Developed process diagrams used to facilitate a discussion with SMEs and define the scope for decomposing operational requirements for the HCMS Requirements Team. I played a lead role as the BPMN SME and have presented a methodology to empower a team effort for researching, developing, and reviewing business process diagrams; which increases the quantity and productivity level for the entire Requirements Team.
• Pioneered the migration from REQs DEV in MSWord-to-IBM DOORS during the development of the SPO-PCS BRD by single-handedly developing REQs in DOORS as a parallel effort to experiment with different REQ schemas in order to achieve an implementation-design that met the HCMS operational needs.
• Led process improvement efforts aimed at improving system/software requirements management and design disciplines towards CMMI Level II
• Reverse-Engineered the SAM (IBM Maximo) database schema and Business Process in System Architect and establish the traceability between SA artifacts and DOORS requirements

• Led the modeling and analysis for how cyber attacks during TST (Time-Sensitive-Targeting) effect the ability to make timely decisions at the mission-command level; developed the model in BPMN using the F2T2EA (Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, then Assess) targeting process, executed the model in iGrafx Tool, analyzed and presented the results using MINITAB; published the results in a Cyber Mission Impact Assurance (CMIA) white-paper.
• Facilitated the process of ‘requirements elicitation’ and ‘requirements review’ process for the development of a system capable of providing high-fidelity Missile-Defense/Missile-Warning scenarios for upper-echelon C2 Commanders, the SEC DEF and the President; converted the To-Be requirements document (“Integrated Air & Missile Mission Capabilities Analysis Report and Desired Capabilities”) into a BPMN model, which led to a complete re-write because of the large discovery of missing requirements and the inclusion of out-of-scope requirements.
• Analyzed the feasibility of a Model-test-Model environment on a Joint Space Operations C2 (JSPOC) pilot project to determine if the To-Be operational thread concepts could be supported by the current architecture configuration. The modeling was developed in BPMN, quantitatively analyzed (via iGrafx simulation and MINITAB)
