TECHNICAL SKILLS

Proven Big Data expert; experience with Hadoop common and successfully

performed a fully-distributed cluster; knows how to install and configure

Hadoop in a fully distributed cluster

Has used HDFS, YARN, MapReduce, Pig, Hive and Oozie using EMR. Experienced

in AWS services. Limited training in 'R' & Hbase (NoSQL) yet is familiar

with their purpose. Proficient in unit testing on MapReduce code using

Eclipse IDE and cluster to eliminate bugs. Once bugs were eliminated put

job onto cluster to verify it worked.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Adecco Consulting (contracted out to GE-Aviation, Clearwater, FL)

Orlando, Florida

May 2014 - Aug 2014

Requirements/Design/Validation Engineer

Wrote/upgraded requirements for a Remote Interface Unit (RIU) for Boeing

Corp. used on the P-8 Poseidon

Used Matlab for accuracy/verification of software, validated (FQT)

requirements for software integrated into the RIU.

Raytheon Corporation

March 1992 - Feb 2014

Systems Engineer

Created an Apache Hadoop Common implementation on a fully distributed

cluster install using HDFS, MapReduce and its various sub-projects, HBase,

Pig, Hive and Oozie.

Expert with HDFS and MapReduce in a Linux OS. Effort involved installing

Hadoop and configuring Hadoop environment using .bashrc & hadoop-env.sh.

Configured the Hadoop framework (provide JDK and SSH password-less keys

from NameNode to all slave nodes). Configured the NameNode (create the

masters and slaves files). Modified core-site.xml and mapred-site.xml

files used to configure the slave nodes. Then format NameNode and verified

the configuration.

Ultimately, started up HDFS (start-dfs.sh) and MapReduce (start-mapred.sh);

troubleshot the cluster using log files and the node web user interface to

correct errors, and finally shut down each node (decommissioned the

DataNodes as well for practice). Used Fs shell, fsck and dfsadmin tools to

interact with HDFS. Throughout effort performed unit testing on MapReduce

portion all under Eclipse IDE to eliminate bugs before entering job onto

cluster. Once bugs were eliminated put job onto cluster to verify it

worked. Also configured a fully-distributed cluster on AWS-S3/EC2/EMR

service. Used YARN and its contributors, Eg, Pig, Hive, Hbase and Oozie

in a fully- distributed cluster from home using AWS. Made liberal use of

the web user interface to verify all nodes' status in the cluster.

A key producer in designing a 'user friendly' Database using ACCESS to

replace the ESS log books in ESS Lab.

Worked on the 'next generation' CEC SDP-S terminal. Responsible for

evaluating CEC CCAs that comprise the CEC (Cooperative Engagement

Capability) terminal. Ensured that CCAs respective VIDs (Vendor Item

Drawing) content met CEC requirements. Interfaced with vendors from UK and

Canada to discuss flaws that existed in VIDs and assisted on remedies for

corrective action.

Successfully developed, implemented, and lead CEP (Cooperative Engagement

Processor) FQT (Formal Qualification Testing) of latest upgrade of CEP

software. Supervised five Engineer testers whose responsibility was to

create and run tests to simulate multiplatform CEP activity and ensure the

CEP software was meeting CEP specifications.

Involved in the integration of various newly acquired businesses. Used SAP

business application software as the underlying foundation to achieve a

successful integration (ETL) of these companies into one Raytheon.

Responsible for the design and implementation of the SIAP (Single

Integrated Air Picture) database for use in the CEC program. Designed the

Oracle instance and schema for this research project using a Solaris UNIX

box.

Designed and developed software routines for a spread-spectrum frequency

hopping communications system (CEC). Designed link budget models for this

spread-spectrum frequency hopping communications system using MS-Excel and

Matlab. Target was VXWorks OS and development was on a Solaris UNIX OS.

Used Labview to contol an antenna pedistal feeding INS input.

ITT

Vandenberg AFB, California

Oct. 1990 - Feb 1992

Systems Engineer

Completed a retrofit of a ship-based radar system into a land-based

tracking radar in Saipan.

Range of engineering functions include redesign of the Rf component chain

to minimize VSWR and maximize output power.

Wrote software for a real-time data handling application.

Northrop Corporation

Rolling Meadows, Illinois

July 1982 - Oct. 1990

Engineer Specialist

Project leader in design and development of RF ATE station for testing of

receiver front-end of AN/ALQ-162 airborne radar set. Effort included RF

system analysis, defining test plan, writing major software device drivers,

power and I/O Interface circuitry design and procurement of all components

and document required to complete objective. Actively participated and

directed four engineers and technical support team using minimal resources

and under critical time constraints.

Responsible for the development and implementation of ATE test

stations/fixtures used in the production testing of hybrid circuits and

major receiver assemblies of the AN/ALQ-135 surveillance radar system. Led

technical team in development of test plan of select RF assemblies. Work

included creating test methodology, circuit design, writing software,

creating TPSs (Test Program Set), integrating HW/SW and delivering final

products to customer.

Wrote design specifications for major RF components of AN/ALQ-161 ECM radar

system. Key technical planner in transferring RF component effort from

design to production. Coordinated design efforts and strategic direction of

RF component specifications with vendors. Specified hardware/software

systems for manufacturing testing of all levels of electronic

assemblies.[pic]
