Yubico phishing-resistant, multi-factor authentication (MFA) stops account takeovers for the world’s largest organizations. Our US Government approved hardware authenticators provide a PIV/CAC alternative today, while bridging to the new, cloud friendly FIDO2 authentication standard. I am driving activity throughout DoD to help the department meet Federal Zero Trust mandates for phishing-resistant MFA for service members, contractors, and partners.

Focused on transforming Military Health and readiness by delivering on DHA 360, a vision for a completely connected organization. Initially assigned to the Veterans Health Administration, paving the way for Salesforce modernization efforts supporting the GAO-OIG Accountability Liaison, Office of Rural Health, and the Caregiver Records Management Application (CARMA), a key program expanded by the VA MISSION Act of 2018.

In this position, I managed the sales cycle of InterSystems products (Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare) for Federal Government customers, with a concentration on DoD Military Health System (MHS). Initially hired to utilize Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) expertise to support federal sales opportunities of Ensemble, a universal integration platform/enterprise service bus (ESB). Promoted to manage the Military Health System account during my first year. In 2006, closed one of the most important deals in company history, which migrated the Composite Healthcare System (CHCS) from Digital Standard MUMPS to InterSystems Caché, a high performance database/application platform. Successfully sold HealthShare, a leading health information exchange (HIE) platform, to the U.S. Coast Guard to satisfy their healthcare interoperability objectives. Positioned HealthShare for DoD and VA to address their interoperability/HIE needs, including eHealth Exchange participation with other agencies and private healthcare organizations.

Joined IONA in February 2001 as part of the Sagavista EAI technology acquisition, and selected twenty of the top engineers from SAGA Software to join me at IONA. Developed criteria and oversaw acceptance testing of Sagavista leading up to the acquisition, and led initial re-branding of the product and underlying APIs as IONA Enterprise Integrator. Managed development of ongoing product enhancements and additional technology adapters, including CORBA, JMS, EJB, and Web Services. Led significant cultural adoption of eXtreme Programming (XP), an iterative, agile methodology for software delivery. Through XP and automated software testing and packaging, managed the on-time delivery of eight major releases of Enterprise Integrator in less than three years. With promotion to Director of Engineering, assumed management responsibilities for IONA XMLBus and Mobile Orchestrator, bringing my organization to ~50 engineers across 3 sites (Reston, VA, Waltham, MA, and Santa Clara, CA).

At SAGA, assembled a team that developed various application and technology adapters for Sagavista, a distributed EAI solution. Written in Java, Sagavista adapters connect external, disparate data sources for seamless integration. Led development of adapters for SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel, MQSeries, generic RDBMS (via JDBC), Native Oracle, Adabas, and various mainframe technologies. Assumed additional responsibility for core Sagavista components, including the design-time GUI and configuration repository, transformation engine, routing hubs, and message definition wizards. Primary management responsibility was delivering products on schedule. This was done by refining and prioritizing requirements with Product Management and leading Engineering team activities, while providing technical assistance for Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support.

First as a developer, then as a manager, worked on PerformanceWorks, a distributed suite for monitoring the performance of enterprise computing assets (operating systems, databases, and applications). Responsible for the design and development of monitoring agents for commercial databases. Supported databases included Sybase, Oracle, Informix, and MS SQL Server. Agent software was developed in C/C++, utilizing client libraries and system tables of the respective target databases to extract performance metrics. Product was supported on Windows, Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, AIX, and Digital UNIX.

Duties included design and development on various client/server projects, usually with PC/Windows front-ends and UNIX servers on the back-end. Played a prominent role in the design and development of an ODBC driver that provides PC connectivity to UniAccess, the flagship product of AIS. UniAccess is an implementation of the Sybase Open Client/Open Server libraries on Unisys 2200 mainframes. This effort, performed primarily with the use of Visual C++, required extensive use of the Sybase Client-Library to map ODBC functions to the Sybase TDS protocol required by UniAccess. Responsibilities included development of the SQL parser (via Lex/Yacc), connection, results, and error processing. Additional responsibilities included the development of all driver code that required Windows SDK programming as well as the development of Windows sample programs that issue UniAccess remote procedure calls and SQL language requests via ODBC, Sybase Client-Library, and Sybase DB-Library.

Provided life-cycle development and support for various Weapon Direction System (WDS) programs. These real time embedded systems provide surface and air defense for U.S. and Canadian Navy warships. Eventually was recognized as the authority of the Target Engageability Subprogram of WDS, coded entirely in ULTRA 16 Assembler on AN/UYK-20 and AN/UYK-44 shipboard computers.
