Professional Experience

New River Systems Corporation

Java Web Developer

Worked as a Java Web Developer, contracting under New River Systems for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Worked in Information Operations (J6), in the Program Executive Office (J62), in Small Financial Apps (J62FB).

The responsibility of the DLA office where I worked was to (1) Provide billing information to customers who are elements of the U.S. Armed Forces for materiel and logistical services provided by DLA; (2) Ensure that prices charged to customers balance costs incurred by DLA for the (a) acquisition of materiel, (b) the provision of logistical services, and (c) other overhead associated with providing these goods and services; and (3) Reconcile customer transactions with the depletion of warehouse inventory.

Maintained the DLA Finance Web (DFW) application, a JDeveloper web application project that uses Java 1.8, Struts 2.0, JSP, and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). The project is a collection of database reports designed for deployment on a WebLogic 12.2.1.4 application server and it uses an Oracle 14c database.

Coded the Material Processing Center report that tracked the onloading and offloading of materiel from U.S. Navy ships at DoD port facilities.

Worked on the Army Selection Board System (ASBS) for the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC). ASBS 2.0 is a new application that Exeter and its partner, Alaska Northstar Resources, LLC, are developing to replace several legacy systems such as the Enlisted Selection Board System (ESBS) and ASBS 1.0. ASBS automates the process used to determine the promotion of personnel within the U.S. Army.

The ASBS project consists of two main components: (1) a Java services application based on Spring Boot which will provide a Graph QL web services API and (2) an Angular JS front end component which will operate as a client of the Java services application. ASBS is designed to run on JBoss EAP 7.4.

System Integrator/Programmer

Worked in the Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) for the U.S. Navy. The prime contractor was BAE Systems. Worked for the subcontractor, Actalent.

Worked on the Enterprise Search project, a search engine for all the official documents on SSP file servers. The technology was Elastic Search running inside a Docker Engine. Created a Java program to crawl document directories on the SSP file servers and use the Java TIKA framework to extract metadata and the plaintext content of the visited binary files. For each SSP document that it visited, the crawler program used the Hibernate framework to persist the metadata and plaintext content of that file as a database record. Used Logstash to populate an Elastic Search index with this data.

Developed an enhanced procedure for setting up the Java EE development environment for DCAPES on developer workstations. The previous procedure that it replaced was not comprehensive enough to enable developers to successfully set up their development environments. Required an intensive study of the non-standard, complex suite of Ant scripts that comprised the DCAPES build process, a close examination of the initialization and startup scripts of WebLogic 10.3.6, and modifications of the DCAPES code base.

In April 2019, converted over to permanent employment with Array Information Technology.

ICPCCS was a NetBeans/Maven web application project designed for deployment on a WebLogic application server and it used an Oracle 12c database.

Used my previous experience with NetBeans and Maven to reverse engineer a web application that our team inherited from the previous contractor. The access that the development team had to information about how to build and deploy the legacy code base was extremely limited.

Provided technical advice so that our team could gain proper access to the existing Subversion code repository.
