PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Cambridge, MA 2016-Present

A trusted partner and leading provider of innovative technology solutions for the federal government.

IT Engineer

Collaborate with a team of engineers to support a multi-producer software effort, integrating disparate data streams into a cross-referenceable system. Use the latest tool sets for the design and testing effort; perform regression testing. Actively engage stakeholders for system functionality education and issues resolution.

Currently moving a new prototype system, a NAS Common Reference, with four disparate data types, to a full-fledged working system. Upon completion, cross-referenced data from multiple sources will be able to be displayed in both a graph form and in a XML format.

oUsed Agile principles to write the system test plan and allocation of requirements for the reference system implementation.

Delivered a common data standard internationally, across different platforms.

oCreated a future state data message set by analyzing current system data in the FIXM XML standard.

oEvaluated the future FFICE implementation standard by conducting data analysis using XMLSPY.

oUsed PERL tools to capture conversion issues.

ARCON Corporation, Cambridge, MA 2000-2016

ARCON provides specialized support in modern technology to the FAA, Department of Defense, other government agencies and businesses.

Senior Systems Engineer

As a member of large team of engineers, reviewed requirements and tested new software products for medium and large systems implementations. Interfaced directly with customers and agencies to ensure new products met their needs; provided refinements when needed. Identified, analyzed, and documented problems with program functions, output, online screen, and content. Designed test plans, scenarios, scripts, and procedures. Performed initial debugging procedures; reviewed configuration files, logs, and code pieces to determine breakdown source. Documented software defects, using a bug tracking system and reported defects to software developers.

As part of a six-person team, worked on a high profile, 4-year project to test and evaluate a large message processing system with 20 different centers across the country.

oShortened development time by writing, testing and analyzing the system’s ability to correlate new updates early in the program life cycle.

oAnalyzed sensitive and non-sensitive data and the system’s ability to correct the information.

oEvaluated message rates to verify the distribution on an hourly basis; developed a histogram script to process the raw data.

oSignificantly reduced overall payload with message batching.

oDeveloped PERL programming tools and wrote scripts to analyze system behavior, message delivery and FUSE database updates.

Implemented JSON query routines to extract data properly from MySQL database; the queries and JSON elements were incorporated into the final document to facilitate database usage.

Co-authored reports and made recommendations on bandwidth use and latency. Analyzed various XML feeds from operational systems such as TBFM, TFMS and ITWS.

Managed system configurations and became the “go-to” to help others solve system functionality problems.

Asked to be the lead analyst verifying that new system message sets complied with prototype implementation requirements.

oDeveloped a PERL script to simulate the message feed; verified transactions were reflected and transacted correctly in the database.

oCollaborated with field staff and customers to analyze and diagnose problems; recommended solutions.

oOrganized several Human in the Loop (HITL) training sessions with external customers; developed feedback mechanism.

Led the test communication efforts among multiple databases, analyzing over 64K records per day dispersed on 4 different machines.

oMaintained operational hub-site suite; set up the flow of information from the remote sites to the processing center.

oDeveloped testing programs for database impacts, software scenarios, regression testing, negative testing, error or bug retests, and usability.

oTested system modifications to prepare for implementation.

Supported the testing effort for new software, hardware and infrastructure; co-managed four test engineers.

oNew developments included TZ re-engineering, Convective Weather, CDM and the Adaptive Compression software.

oInstalled and configured recreations of software production environments to test software performance.

Oversaw the back-end proof of concept and managed the QA analyst responsible for backend migration from HP Unix to the Linux operating system.

oAnalyzed and tested an improved communication infrastructure to enhance the transfer of files across multiple systems.
