Jacobs Technology

Senior Systems Engineer, CON-IT Program,

Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Perform a myriad of technical activities in support of the next generation of Air Force contracting systems. Supported activities for the Service Development and Delivery Process (SDDP). Create key program documents, analyze alternatives, provide verification and validation support, support all phases of test and evaluation, and recommend needed architectures. Is leading effort to define the needed interfaces.

Sep 2008 – Dec 2014

Jacobs Technology

Enterprise Database Development Tech Lead/DBA, Enterprise Business Systems,

Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Responsible for database systems development for the various enterprise level financial and project management applications supporting over 12,000 users worldwide in Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Helped reduce dependence on a $100K/year software product by recreating many of our data warehouse processes in Oracle PL/SQL. In the past this organization's customers have not trusted the financial data due to our inconsistency in detecting file load problems. To improve visibility of these issues, built web-based data file status reporting and management system for data file administrators. As a result, our customer finally began trusting our data enough to accept reports they had not accepted for three years! Led team which determined how to integrate key systems across EBS, and participated in creating database-level interfaces between the systems. As a result, EBS is finally able to provide an integrated product solution. Also worked on team which helped create and document the development architecture and standards for the organization. As a senior member of this team and the Coordinator for the program’s Engineering Process Group, helped the team achieve the following awards: Jacobs 2013 ASD Outstanding Team of the Year, National Defense Industrial Association 2011 DOD System Engineering Award, and CMMI Level 3!

Mar 2005 – Sep 2008

TYBRIN Corporation

Projects Manager, Wright Research Site MIS Team

Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Projects Manager / Team Lead / Chief System Engineer for 10 person development team of developers, system admins, Oracle DBAs, and customer support analysts at Air Force Research Laboratory’s Wright Research Site.

Led CMMI-driven software development, operations and customer support for several Oracle multi-tier architecture applications supporting users across multiple U.S. locations. Responsible for all aspects of project management including requirements definition, design, scheduling, development, testing, and deployment. Was also the lead software developer for an expert system which helps build a part of contract packages.

Our company won the contract due to the previous contractor’s lack of processes, documentation, and effective progress reporting. Worked with team to build configuration management, quality control, and other software development processes – tailored to fit a mix of both short and long development efforts. Also built software estimating and project management software to handle key aspects of the office’s CMMI software development processes. Based on these improvements, this team now consistently receives high praise from its Air Force customers.

Led evaluation and prototyping of Adobe Flex applications using web services to connect to databases.

Nov 1999 – Feb 2005

TYBRIN Corporation

Project Lead, Principal Oracle/Internet Developer

Dayton, Ohio

As project lead, ran entire or key subsets of projects. In particular, guided a complicated several month project with frequent government requirement changes to successful delivery.

One of key system architects converting a major Air Force financial management system from an Oracle client-server application to a fully web-based 4-tier architecture supporting multiple application servers. Converted legacy ASCII reports to Adobe PDF on-the-fly and delivered via Oracle Web Server. Integrated Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Oracle Web Server, and external procedures with legacy Unix processes, security, and CRON scheduling. Implemented diagnostic routines to check scores of potential installation problems for the multi-server architecture. Identified and helped fix show stoppers at several sites. Created prototype applications using Java, Java servlets and JSP to replace legacy Pro*C applications.

Jan 1997 – Oct 1999

Litton/PRC

Internet Developer and Principal Computer Systems Engineer

88 ABW Environmental Management, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Designed & built web-based EPA air quality compliance tracking system for an Air Force client.

Created web-based application for tracking Air Force inventory of aircraft radioactive components.

Constructed organizational web-site integrating static and dynamic data-driven pages; custom graphics. Merged public site with site behind firewall using dynamic hostname detection and XML-based data transfer between web servers. Searches integrated data from across all servers the user had access to.

Created password-protected Web application integrating VAX VMS report server application and users' PCs. Feedback from customer: “Users love it! Puts us on leading edge of web-based development!”

Computer Sciences Corporation

Chief Computer Systems Engineer, Advanced Technology Engineer

Air Force Research Labs, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Led system engineering efforts supporting a port of the Air Force customer’s financial management system from a Unix front-end to a graphical user interface on a PC.

Built the schedule for 8 man-year, 20 person software development effort. Customer praised result as “one of first ‘realistic’ schedules in several years.”

Jan 1992 – Aug 1994

Wright Laboratory, USAF

Computer Support Branch/Operations Manager

Led 20 person team of system administrators, developers, network engineers, and help desk technicians with a $3 million annual budget supporting the commander of the Wright Research Site and the operations staff. When I took over, customer service was at an all-time low, and the office had a bad reputation. Reengineered computer maintenance, help desk, and other processes to complete 20,000+ trouble calls a year 700% faster.

Led requirements analysis, evaluation, procurement, and administration of $1 million supercomputer.

Aug 1989 – Dec 1991

Air Force Communications Command Operational Test and Evaluation Center

Operational Test and Evaluation Division Chief, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Led 120 engineers and technicians across 10 teams in performance of follow-on operational test and evaluation of Air Force ground satellite facilities, base communications systems, computer networks, HF ground radio stations, and microwave transmission facilities. A particular impact I had was to be able to champion the teams in publishing the problems they really found, rather than having to sugar coat them because of pressure from the evaluated organization.

To help capture team expertise when the organization was shutting down, I created, trained and led a 6 person expert system development team, producing advanced-prototype advisory, training, and trend analysis systems for HF radio ground stations, digital microwave systems, and telephone switches.
