- Team lead for Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Operations Portal Development; led a team of 5 software engineers using React 18, ArcGIS Enterprise, and PostgreSQL on an Amazon Web Services server stack (both Windows Server 2019 and RHEL 8).- Created consolidated database of US EMS platforms and emitters from 6 disparate data sources. Normalized CSV, JSON, and XML data for easy ingest into a PostgreSQL database. Constructed database schema, complete with tables, views, functions, and procedures, to house consolidated data. Used Safe Feature Manipulation Engine (FME), an Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) application, to automate data ingest and manipulation.- Cleared technical debt in existing React code base, using a CycloneDX Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to update major components and dependencies to versions that have a Certificate to Field (CTF).- Updated GitLab CI/CD pipeline to incorporate deployment stage, where none existed before; previous pipeline only had build and test stages. Package is now built on merge for move to SIPRNET enclave, enabling Continuous Delivery.
