Experience
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)
Systems Engineer / IV&V Systems Analyst, September 2009 - present
. Systems Engineer supporting IV&V activities of over 35 US-VISIT
projects and their ongoing effort of providing safeguard
initiatives for border protection utilizing biographic and
biometric information.
. Called in to improve the documentation analysis process in an
effort to better identify technical and editorial inconsistencies
of the artifacts produced on the US-VISIT projects; this resulted
in more detailed and effective assessments of the condition of the
system.
. Performed concept document evaluation on System Test Plans such as
Component/Assembly Test (CAT) Plan, Product Application Test (PAT)
Plan, Product Integration Test Plan (PIT), and Performance Test
Plan, which facilitated the execution and management of the various
testing phases.
. Performed requirements analysis and validation to ensure software
and system requirements were correct, unambiguous, consistent and
testable in accordance with the specified capabilities of the
product.
. Performed software design evaluation to verify that all terms and
design concepts are documented consistently and to also ensure that
particular elements of the design (i.e. hardware, software, design
controls) are captured in the System Design Document (SDD).
. Conducted interface analysis to verify that data format and
performance criteria have been provided, and that the interface
descriptions are consistent among all the applicable requirement
and design documents.
KFORCE Inc.
Systems Engineer / IV&V Systems Analyst, February 2009 - September 2009
. Systems Engineer supporting IV&V activities of over 35 US-VISIT
projects and their ongoing effort of providing safeguard
initiatives for border protection utilizing biographic and
biometric information.
. Developed consolidated document assessments geared towards
identifying technical and editorial inconsistencies of the
artifacts produced on the US-VISIT projects.
. Identified and managed non-compliance issues to facilitate
resolution of issues related to process deviations and standards.
. Selected to develop and manage artifact guidelines for 22 US-VISIT
artifacts that aided in providing a structured format to ensure
consistency in the development and assessment of the project
deliverables.
. Participated in the ongoing effort of transitioning US-VISIT from
the Enterprise Life Cycle Methodology (ELCM) to the new DHS Systems
Engineering Lifecycle Methodology (SELC).
. Performed traceability analysis on requirements documentation to
ensure software and system requirements were traceable to
corresponding design documents, test cases and Systems Requirements
Document (SRD).
. Performed reviews of the project risks in an effort to provide
recommendations to eliminate or reduce the impact and/or likelihood
of the identified risks.
Enterprise Information Services (EIS)
Test Engineer / IV&V Systems Analyst, September 2007 - February 2009
. Test Engineer supporting IV&V activities in the $3 billion
modernization effort of U.S. CBP from the current Automated
Commercial System (ACS) to the Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE).
. Identified, documented, and analyzed over 30 development risks in
technology, performance, scope, schedule and cost, including
evaluating the adequacy of test plans, processes and results prior
to software acceptance.
. Participated in the development and maintenance of a Criticality
Analysis & Risk Assessment (CARA) Tool, which provided a more
structured technique in how IV&V resources were allocated to areas
of the program that posed the greatest potential risk.
. Participated in all IV&V reviews of contracted software developers
work products and deliverables in accordance to the process and
procedures outlined in the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1012.
. Performed concept document evaluation on System Test Plans such as
System Integration Test (SIT) Plan, System Acceptance Test (SAT)
Plan, User Acceptance Test (UAT) Plan, which facilitated the
execution and management of the various testing phases.
. Developed weekly observation and meeting reports based on
specification reviews, CBP Reviews, Work Sessions and Risk/Issue
meetings.
. Developed Gap Analysis Reports for each of the SDLC phases in an
effort to identify, document and address the variations between
project activities and the respective governing plans.
