Employment History

Engineer Software IV Chantilly, VA Jan 2014 - Apr

TASC, Inc. 2014

Created REST services in Java using Jersey. Created JUnit

tests for the REST services using JerseyTest test harness

involving Spring.

Refactored a tightly coupled application into layers, removing

business logic and database calls from the Vaadin user

interface layer with the intention of separating the

application into halves. Implemented Exception Chaining to

abstract the Hibernate ORM layer from the REST layer.

Senior Analyst/Technical McLean, VA Feb 2011 - Sep

Consultant 2013

Altamira Corporation, Inc.

Architected and wrote an inter-widget communications server.

Widgets are lightweight web applications. The model layer of

the server implements widget objects that extend XMPP Jabber

clients. XMPP is an established, open communication technology

and widgets use an XMPP publish-subscribe standard to

communicate events. An embedded Apache Vysper XMPP server was

implemented as the server and communications were implemented

using Strophe/BOSH and also Atmosphere.

Refactored and modernized a J2EE communications application

written using the Struts framework and an Oracle database.

Senior Principal Software Herndon, VA Aug 2010 - Jan

Architect 2011

ManTech International, Inc.

Architected an Apache Camel solution using Enterprise

Integration Patterns to adapt the existing Intelligence

Community Data Layer (ICDL) to make the application more

flexible and agile. The principle objects in the system were

data sources, modifiers, indexes, and consumers. Created an

architecture where a standard ETL tool (Twister) fed records to

web service that processed the records and routed them through

modifiers and indexes using a Routing Slip pattern.

Senior Software Engineer Sterling, VA Jan 2007 - Jun

The Technology Development 2010

Group

Designed a semantic search using Lucene.

Architected a software development environment using Apache Ivy

(source code dependency), Ant, Subversion, and Eclipse. The

environment allows for the creation of software in an object

oriented way - an object's dependencies are encapsulated in the

object. The creation of tools and sample applications allows

for the creation of cleaner and better tested code.

Architected and implemented the Air Force Institute of

Technology (AFIT) Sustainment Curriculum Portfolio web site.

Redesigned and converted the AFIT SQL Server database.

Replaced the existing ColdFusion web site with a

Faces/Tiles/Tomahawk framework implementation. Created

infrastructure for advanced searches using dynamically

generated SQL. Included an Aduna applet for search result

visualization.

Designed and implemented a metadata hierarchy for the Linguist

Language Broker (LLB) application. The LLB is a J2EE

application using Oracle for maintaining dictionaries of

translations categorized by metadata. Created a dynamic bit

vector using Oracle materialized views for fast search results.

Created infrastructure for other projects including several

research initiatives. Initiated a library of standardized

common methods across projects.

Senior Software Engineer McLean, VA Dec 1995 - Nov

Northrop Grumman, Inc. 2010

Completed the Artemis/Dragon Fury J2EE program development

started by different contractor. Artemis is a J2EE based data

entry application for an Oracle database used by several

reporting tools. Added a network display tool using Jung (Java

Universal Network Graph) to aid the subject matter experts with

their data entry. Rewrote the application using JavaServer

Faces and Tiles from Apache Struts. Also wrote a supplemental

Faces/Tiles maintenance application for the system

administrators for adding users, viewing log files, automatic

email warnings, summary database viewing, and property file

maintenance.

Assigned to the Analytical Assessment Tool (AAT) development

staff as a LISP programmer and tool developer. Wrote the LISP

XML parser. Designed and implemented a process for creating,

centralizing, parsing, and summarizing the network's Unix

machines' audit logging.

Redesigned and rewrote the Electronic Army Intelligence Master

Plan ColdFusion web site.

Was lead developer for the White House Publications Server Y2K

renovation project. This effort included an update and

evaluation or all Publications Server software and operating

systems for functionality and Y2K compliance.

Worked on the FDIIS (Force Development Investment Information

System) program for MI2S (Military Intelligence Investment

Strategy) program team. MI2S links Army resources to Army

requirements, integrates disparate databases and programs, and

provides a cross-program analysis capability which facilitates

strategies to ameliorate risk and redress shortfalls.

Completed a Linguist Support Tool in Microsoft Access 7.0. The

Linguist Support Tool is used to aid in determining linguist

requirements for various contingency missions for use by Office

Deputy Chief of Staff, Intelligence action officers.

Assigned to FIM (Force Integration MasterPlanner) as a LISP

programmer where I worked on Common LISP development tools for

use by other developers within the FIM group. FIM is an

executive decision support system for the Army Intelligence

Staff.

Assigned to the DMSO (Defense Modeling & Simulation Office) HLA

(High Level Architecture) Project. The HLA is the standard

architecture for all current and future DoD models and

simulations. Enhanced, developed new features for, and

documented a model using C & SES/Workbench (a state-of-the-art

discrete modeling software) that models the HLA. The HLA model

allows the users to test current and potential modeling

federations by specifying the federates, or simulations, and

communications systems involved. By allowing the users to

parameterize their models the HLA model predicts the speed and

resource demands of their model, the RTI (RunTime

Infrastructure), and communications aspects of their HLA

compliant models.

Managed a team of programmers on the MCS Conversion Project to

a successful completion. The MCS Conversion involved rewriting

and adapting the Phoenix Synchronization Matrix to the TKC's

(Tightly Knit Confederation: Mitre, CSC, et. al.) operating

environment. Provided technical support, development,

collaboration, and supervision to team members.

Participated in the software enhancement and debugging of the

Phoenix Baseline. Additionally, supported Prairie Warrior

Exercise in Fort Hood, TX.
