EXPERIENCE

Elite Orthopaedic & Musculoskeletal Center, Glen Burnie, MD

1/2013 - Present

IT Administrator (Contractor)

Handled the installations, configurations, and troubleshooting of the

hardware, software, and networks. This includes configuring network

printers, scanners, Cisco routers, switches and VOIP phones, and Windows

XP/Vista/7 troubleshooting.

IT Information Security Consultant (Independent)

9/2008 - Present

security, network security, and project/program management in support of

any Network and Information Security training offerings. I taught and tutor

Anne Arundel college students Cisco technologies, Network+ and Security+

courses.

USDA-ARS-ANRI, Food Safety Lab., Beltsville, MD

8/2001 - 9/2008

IT Specialist (Applications Software)

Managed the development of an enterprise-wide automated on-line poultry

inspection system via visible near infrared technology and was responsible

for network, system and software security. Managed the laboratory routers

and switches, and analyzed the network packets. The objective of this

project is to develop a real-time, effective system for detecting diseases

and contamination on poultry carcasses on-line. Developing this system

would increase the U.S. broiler industry sales by $1.5 to $2.5 billion over

5 years.

. In this position, I worked directly with Subject Matter Experts from

varied onsite companies, some of whom supported different contracts

from the IDS Team, Certification and Accreditation and System

administration department. My principle duties of managing the

laboratory routers and switches and

analyzing anomalous network packets required me to translate their inputs

and data into reports for both our senior and non-technical management.

Working under minimal supervision, I created finished products that ranged

from operational reports, to System Initialization, Data Collection, Data

Modeling and Mining, and Model Prediction reports.

These products were utilized by high-level personnel in the USDA Laboratory

areas of operations to make decisions that affected the networking and

security posture of our networks and IT infrastructure. I utilized the best

practices as defined in the NIST SP Publications 800-37 and 800-53.

. Involved with the laboratory management team to initiate this project

by developing the project charter, documenting the project benefits,

and assigning the needed resources.

. Communicated effectively with laboratory scientists and Stork Gamco,

Inc, Gainesville, GA engineers to gather the functional and security

requirements, and develop the project plan.

. Designed the architecture prototype of the machine vision inspection

software, which consists of the following modules: System

Initialization, Data Collection, Data Modeling and Mining, and Model

Prediction.

. Implemented and coded the specified software using LabVIEW, C/C++ and

Visual Studio. Developed pattern recognition system using neural

network. Developed data mining tools: principal component analysis and

wavelets.

. Developed database system using MS access by deploying an SQL coding

and reporting.

. Deployed code security countermeasures for buffer overflow, SQL

injection, race conditions, parameter validations, and performed

manual and automatic code review by using build-in debuggers and

Fortify. Also used Nessus for discovering any software

vulnerabilities.

. Used Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to protect the archived data

stored in the databases.

. Tested the developed system in a various Kill-line chicken plants:

ConAgra foods, Athens, GA and Tyson foods, New Holland, PA.

. Earned an approval from the executive management to certify and

accredit this system.

. Successfully published in scientific journals for a new poultry

machine vision inspection system.

. Worked with laboratory scientists, as a part of a cooperative research

and development agreement, with Stork Gamco, Inc., Gainesville, GA, to

commercialize the developed system.

. Presented this developed system that is ready to transfer to industry

to the Technology Strategy and Business Development, Maryland

Department of Business and Economic Development.

. Maintained the records of the laboratory IP addresses, monitored the

network traffics by using an intrusion detection system (IDS),

installed up-to-date Anti Virus software and updated signatures, and

backed up all of the generated system data files in daily basis.

Physics Department, Davis, CA 9/1996 - 12/2000

Teaching and Research Assistant

. Reader and teaching assistant for lower and upper division physics

courses.

. Worked as a team member for research and development a relativistic

heavy ion physics experiments (E895 and STAR). This includes

development and upgrading the applications software prototype for a

charged elementary particles spectra and flow analysis. Used FORTRAN,

C/C++, and UNIX systems.
