I supported project planning, direction, coordination, and control necessary to complete all work requirements, including installation, deployment, documentation, inspection, and acceptance, to accomplish installation of the MGC suite on board ships and submarines. I also specialized expertise in network configuration, network troubleshooting, HAIPE configuration, firewall configuration, Windows account management, encryption key generation, and database migration. As an installer, I performed coordination tasks in preparation for EKMS to KMI transition, encompassing verification and validation of KMI equipment and KMI key orders (Firefly, MSK, and HAIPE key on hand). I ensured network connectivity requirements, including boundary change requests, are submitted and approved, and that IP addresses have been passed on to KMI help desk to coordinate routes. I have specialized expertise in KMI transition troubleshooting techniques with innovative ability to develop new coordination techniques in support of pre-installation and installation of the KMI client node. I completed registration and enrollment requirements, submitting required KMI forms to Naval Communications Security Material System (NCMS) before EKMS to KMI transition. As a KMI coordinator, I performed EKMS database integrity checks, works with the transitioning account ensuring Tier 2 to Tier 2 (T2T) scripts have been executed, and sends the Account Profile Report to the KMI coordination team. Before any installs, all errors identified on the Account Profile Report are resolved. Show less
