o Lead development team in updating a Java web application with Angular.js front-end to be scalable. Helped design application to use AWS load balancers, Kafka and Cassandra database to handle data from growing number of IoT devices. AWS Lambas used for reporting process to reduce compute resources.o Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline that deploys monthly software updates to production cloud environment consisting of over 10,000 IoT embedded devices operating on Powered Industrial Vehicleso Managed project to migrate production cloud environment to AWS. New cloud platform is realizing a 40% cost savings using industry-standard security best practices. Managed contractor to automate the migration process from local or other cloud hosted platform to AWSo Trained support team on new AWS environment and created access credentials using IAM and AWS Session Manager to eliminate shared access credentials and provide unique access control for each user.o Facilitated training seminars with support team to troubleshoot and debug data flow problems and reduce resolution timeo Maintain and develop improvements to embedded linux platform using the Yocto Linux Project.o Built CI/CD environment to automate software deployment. Reduced new feature time to market fromsemi-annual to monthly by automating the deployment process using Rundeck, Bash and Pythonscriptso Migrated code base from subversion to Git (hosted in Github)o Maintain and update open-source software libraries. Integrated WhiteSource into the CI/CD stack to monitor for changes and alert when security vulnerabilities are found.o Member of team that collects business requirements and prioritizes into an agile sprint process forimplementationo Work with stakeholders and company department heads to apply IT security policies and procedures in both internal and customer facing environments. Ran periodic third-party penetration testing to ensure compliance.

o Support existing production Java software packages, providing bug fixes and new features.o Diagnosed and resolved network issues in firmware. Created a test platform of hardware and software tools to simulate a weak RF signal environments to diagnose and improve network communications softwareperformance.o Led effort to promote and implement an agile sprint process of software development. Organized sprint teams, built infrastructure to support automated software builds, functioned as scrum master.

o Built customized Linux-based OS to run on PC/104 system with Intel architecture.o Designed and led development of multi-threaded C program interfacing over RS-232, USB, and TCP to infrared spectrometer, GPS, pan/tilt motor, and environmental sensors. System collects and analyzes data from spectrometer at 30hz and sends results to Windows UI over TCP.o Applied PID control to PTZ gimble over serial link using dedicated microprocessor to improve spatial accuracy to within 1/100th degree.

o Developed MS .NET application using Windows Forms, written in C# and VB that manages TCP connections to multiple sensors to collect and archive data at 30hz. Uses a triangulation algorithm to identify cloud location and displays 3D cloud result on Google Earth interface.o Responsible for software maintenance and issuing periodic software updates to customer. Program has been operating in the National Capital Region 24/7 for 7+ years providing sensor health and chemical detection results with minimal downtime.

Lead developer of embedded software and Windows user interface for standoff chemical sensors.

Sensor Fusion System combines data from multiple battlefield sensors (Chem/Bio and ISR) to provide earlier threat warning with higher confidence from chemical / biological threats- Led a team of software developers. Managed schedules, budgets, monthly reports and interfacing with the customer. - Published and presented report at SPIE conference- System reduced threat detection time by 60 seconds- Wrote software to interface to multiple types of Chem/Bio, ISR sensors and analyze sensor data to provide earlier threat warning with higher confidence.- Developed a sensor measurement binning technique designed to use sensor measurements below the noise threshold- Implemented a “threat confidence qualitative checklist” of measurements that the user can use to determine likelihood of the threat

Network of Standoff Chemical Sensors continuously monitoring for chemical threats since 2004o Installed liquid coolers on spectrometers to reduce maintenance costs by $200,000 per yearo Analyze system faults and false alarms. Works closely with customer to understand and reduce number of false alarms to less than 4 events a year (out of almost 2 billion measurements)o Developed and installed a “Sensor Synergy” software system which allows sensors to communicate with each other to detect and confirm threats or false alarms faster, reducing costly preventative actiono Primary interface with customer. Held quarterly review meetingso Managed budgets, preventative maintenance schedules, and repair of systems o Primary role in implementation of standoff chemical sensors for Pentagon Shield and Urban Shield programso Designed and installed a database for archiving sensor logs and data files. Sensor data is displayed in graphical format with alerts when preventative maintenance is needed. System is used to monitor sensor performance and schedule preventative maintenance actions
