As a contractor working primarily with the public sector I have worked extensively with Telos' Xacta toolset including; Xacta Assessment Engine as well as Xacta Continuum for risk assessment and management. As a byproduct of this experience I have a solid foundation with the NIST and CNSS recommendations and directives particularly as it applies to security control sets i.e. NIST-800-53 and the CNSSI 1253 and the risk management framework as it applies via NIST-800-37. Additionally I have experience working with the output of Antivirus engines such as McAfee MVM and Symantec and work with/understand the raw .xml/.nessus outputs for the vulnerability scanner Tenable/Nessus.

In a team of 6, designed and built from the ground up a local database web portal system (MySQL, Apache, PHP) to support a local business, Liquiana's, business processes. As a developer and information security major I built a larger portion of the system implementing basic abilities such as the ability to add, delete, and update content in addition to features such as; support for sorting and searching of information, exporting of information, and the creation of a fully robust audit log which tracks all changes a user makes in a query-able format. Error handling and form filtering were also implemented as Accuracy and Security considerations according to the business needs.

Lastly is to ensure exemplary customer interaction which allows for repeat customers.
