Splunk engineering, architecture and automation. Specializing in custom Splunk applications, Splunk architecture orchestration and automation via Ansible.

I founded the open-source MynaJS project to create a server-side JavaScript application server than can be deployed into a Java servlet container. Example Features:* Normalized ORM and DDL for Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and H2* LDAP: General LDAP and Active Directory support, including paging and custom socket managers for SSL* Ruby-on-Rails style MVC framework * Windows and Linux support* Centralized authentication and authorization, including AD groups

Deployed and Maintained Enterprise IT security Tools: IPS/IDS systems including snort, Splunk, Tipping Point, Juniper switching and Firewall, Cisco switching and Firewall, Iron Port, iBoss, Stealthwatch, PlixerDeveloped IT security solutions using a mixture of commercial, open-source, and internally developed resources. Example: Vulnerability management system utilizing local database and API's from Infoblox IPAM/DNS, Splunk and Nessus Incident Monitoring and Response: Created alerting and priority system to ensure that potential intrusions are detected early, and acted on before breaches occur. Conducted Incident Investigations through the entire IR lifecycleInternal Network Segmentation:Designed an internal MPLS infrastructure to segment internal routed IP traffic for both high value and risk services, across multiple buildings. Documentation: Created IT operations wiki for documenting standard procedures, build docs, and IT security "playbook"Secure System Design:Consulted with internal and external clients on secure application design and deployment of network systems.Project Management: Managed several enterprise technology deployments including: Infoblox IPAM/DNS, Aruba Clearpass RADIUS/NAC, and Exchange DLP. Upgraded Splunk from standalone server to a 200GB/day+ N-tier system with Enterprise Security for SplunkInvestigated IT systems and maintained general IT knowledge. I explored many areas of IT and deployed systems where business needs were clear, but IT ownership was not. Examples: * Built hardened SFTP server for medical and financial data exchange. * Converted Microsoft DNS/DHCP to Infoblox. * Built signed deployment.jar to support enterprise Java applications (Kronos, Banner, Infor, etc)* Deployed advanced features of Citrix Netscaler to pre-authenticate remote users of sensitive web applications* Built centralized SMTP relay server with auditing and reporting

Designed and deployed web applications to support HR, Finance, Clinical, and IT processes.* Enterprise online request system* HR employee and talent management system* Hospital Bed Management system* Designed Javascript/MPages component standard for Cerner community* Developed JSON-to-CCL-to-PL/SQL shim to allow developers to program in Javascript/SQL and compile down to CCL within the EMRDesigned and built internal tools and processes to support web development* Built standard application template to speed development* Built standard project plan for managing development projects* Built request system for managing and prioritizing Application development requests* Provided mentoring and training on new web technologies* Built process for moving projects through SDLCDesigned, deployed and maintained server infrastructure for web-based systems* Converted single-instance Windows/Cold Fusion platform to a multi-instance Linux cluster* Created HA clustered NAS frontend to FC SAN storage to support web cluster* Documented design and operation for web and storage clusters
