SUMMARY – RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

Senior Security Engineer

• Migrated a Microsoft Access database for the Security Operations division of CBP Cargo to a Python, PostgreSQL and Microsoft Power BI-based dashboard for employee and contractor separations using data from many different CBP/DHS systems including CSV files, direct API connections and databases.

• Implemented a code vulnerability dashboard showcasing Microsoft Power BI reports and Python development. This system is used by several internal division users and management within CBP/DHS to see the current software vulnerability status of all threats to the organization. The data came from many sources in the form of CSV and direct connection to APIs and databases.

• Migrated a Microsoft Access database being used for many years by the Security Operations division to a newer AWS Web-based Python application, utilizing a PostgreSQL database, and a Microsoft Power BI dashboard for CBP employee and contractor separations. The Python code was developed using Visual Studio Code and versioned/stored in a Gitlab/AWS repository. The data came from many different CBP systems including LDAP servers, SAP, and Microsoft Sharepoint. This data was imported into the database using CSV files and direct API connections to applications. This dashboard allows the SECOPS team to easily compare separated employees and contractors with other data sources to make sure that the persons were correctly removed or moved within each system as needed. Testing was performed using Docker containers running Linux (RHEL) before migrating the code to a Jenkins pipeline where any vulnerabilities were discovered and sent back for remediation. Once clean, the code was pushed to a test environment for full peer testing. A full lifecycle change management process was used to test and then finally push the code to a production environment. Microsoft Sharepoint and Teams were used for internal Team communications while meeting and information was kept in Microsoft OneNote.

● Implemented a code vulnerability dashboard using a custom Python application to create integrations to many disparate external systems including Jira to show open tickets that have not been remediated. The data is presented in a set of Power BI dashboards and reports for review by SECOPS personnel and management. The system is used to validate that no vulnerabilities exist in software code. The data comes from many sources in the form of CSV and direct connection to external system APIs and databases. The Python code was developed using Visual Studio Code and versioned/stored in a Gitlab cloud (AWS) repository. A full lifecycle change management process was used to test and then finally push the code to a production environment.

● Used an AWS-hosted Jenkins pipeline to run software vulnerability analysis software such as SonarQube in Kubernetes containers. CSV files were kept in AWS S3 buckets and used the API to pull the data.

● Gitlab was used on the AWS cloud for use as a code repository and versioning of custom code.

● Created a lab environment using Docker Containers to test vulnerability applications such as SAST/DAST analysis software.

● Leveraged Jira for project / task management and reporting.

● Led a team of developers to help them develop new API integrations, process and procedure documentation, and software code analysis.

● Mentored junior team members to assist in building their skills as developers in Python and other disciplines.

● All processes and software application implementations were drafted in Microsoft OneNote and then cleaned up and placed on a Confluence site for Security Engineering personnel use and some was used for end-user training depending on the subject matter. Microsoft Teams and Sharepoint were used Senior Maximo Developer / SME / Documentation Specialist Unisys, Falls Church VA 2019
