• Improved a SIEM cybersecurity product used by in-house security analysts (SOC).After being hired as a Senior Software Engineer, my manager saw a need for a Product Manager and asked me if I would fill in until a.
• Wrote the vision statement.
• Wrote user stories.
• Prioritize and groom the backlog.
• Sprint planning.My manager asked me to fill in as a Project Manager as soon as the new Product Manager came on board.Accomplishments while operating as a Project Manager:
• Work closely with the product manager to generate deliverable milestones.

Stamford, CT, US

• Develop Continuous Integration (CI) process and fix bugs for an on-demand virtual machine service, written in Ruby.
• Create tests for a web UI with an emphasis on finding errors early, to reduce the cost of code development.
• Create Jenkins jobs to run tests, allowing more time to write code and less human interaction while testing deployable code.
• Develop standards and protocols to streamline the deployment process (coding standards, configuration management standards, quality assurance standards and procedures).
• Configure Jenkins jobs for manual testing of the product's web UI to allow a developer to test a change in code during development.
• Produce concise, intuitive reports on test failure, reducing the analysis time required to find and fix errors.

Reston, Virginia, US

• Design, develop, and implement data manipulation projects from Statements of Work for the USPS. We implemented Amazon Sunday Delivery.
• Wrote code that interacted with a High-transaction Oracle database containing tens of millions of package mailing data points, used to provide interesting data to the algorithm which predicted higher or lower personnel.
• Wrote C++ ETL code that normalized data from 20+ data sources, each with its own schema.
• Designed and implemented a random package assessment system in an Oracle database using PL/SQL. This is used to verify that packages have the correct postage.
• Assisted with package scanning system for end-point Post Offices, used to optimize delivery routes.

• Start-up company for an Internet Explorer plugin. I was responsible for everything that happened after the CTO provided high-level product requirements.
• Authored entire development lifecycle policies, including the use of Agile, proper testing procedures, and deployment process.
• Analyzed requirements into user stories.
• Prioritized and groomed the backlog.
• Operated as Scrum Master during task assignment.
• Enforced code review policies.

Fairfax, VA, US

• Worked on a cross-platform resource monitoring tool used by System Administrators to identify deficiencies in their computer network.
• Extensive use and knowledge of Windows Performance Registry was required, as that is the primary source of information used to analyze and report unusual computer behavior.
• Cross-compiled for Windows, RHEL, and VOS platforms; the code was written to ANSI C standards.
• Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) data is collected from software agents that ran on endpoint user computers, to provide normalized data to the analysis engine in XML format.

Herndon, Virginia, US

• C/C++ and Python software development and test environment for a plug-n-play framework used for computer exploits, specifically for remote data exfiltration.
• Windows kernel, IP comms, and various research and development projects were all employed during the weaponization of software exploits and vulnerabilities.
• Automated test infrastructure implemented in Python and VMware was required, as each of the exploits could potentially crash a target computer based on very particular criteria.
• Required expert knowledge of C/C++ and Python languages in order to provide the most undetectable software as possible.
• TCP/IP communications were implemented in C on a Windows platform, and Python on a Linux platform.
• Test infrastructure installed a version of Windows on a blank VMware image, and then groomed the image so that no pop-up windows would appear when the image was used by an automated process.

• C++ and C# development, along with small assembly language projects for vehicle telemetry.
• Designed and developed a GUI for a multi-processor embedded software product to allow hardware and firmware developers to set up scenarios during development, shaving hours off of each new addition or development.
• Required communication between managed and non-managed (Windows parlance) software because the configuration software ran on a Windows platform and the telemetry software ran on ARM7 microprocessors.
• The GUI interrogated the product (which had a dual-ARM7 architecture) about its status and then display it in a meaningful way to the user.
• GUI used C++ non-managed code that ran on the ARM7 processors.
• C++ was used to control communications to the product, and C# was used to create the user interface.

• Designed a small synthetic aperture radar system to be used for test and measurement.
• The radar unit utilized a Network Analyzer to create the frequencies and the gating system used by the radar.
• FPGA code and some motor-control code, written in C.
• The Network Analyzer was controlled by code written in C++, using COM objects.
• C/C++ developer.
• Integrated an openGL graphic visualization of the interesting portion of radar data in 3D space.

Alexandria, Virginia, US

• C development per MIL-STD-2167 for avionics and SatComm software used in full-scale aircraft simulators.
• The software simulated operating conditions, interfacing between a simulation controller and actual hardware (GFE).

• Software engineer on the Anti-ballistic Missile Defense EKV project.
• Implemented 16x24 Kalman filter in C for Intel i860 RISC microprocessor.
• Migrated the Kalman filter to a DSP, in assembly for a 20% duty cycle reduction on the i860.
• Rewrote the telemetry software, implemented on an ADSP 2111 DSP, in assembly.
• Improved existing positional software from a 50% CPU duty cycle to 5% duty cycle, written in assembly.
