Software Developer in Test and Senior QA Engineer @ Ionic Security Sustains legacy products by porting legacy test rigs to Robot Framework plus Selenium (and extended via Python). Supports product integrations by building and maintaining vSphere and Azure develop, test, and demo environments including four Microsoft AD RMS networks and three smaller product integration environments. Tests products, integrations, and developer code examples (Java, JavaScript, C, C#, and Python) for Windows and Linux OSs and interfaces to all major cloud platforms. Continues to provide JavaScript, Python (and now PowerShell) code support. Recently, began basic DB support. RemoteTest Automation and Applied Research Engineer @ Ionic Security Created and maintained a number of selenium grid based automated test environments using webdriver.io, selenium-webdriver, Python, and JavaScript bindings. Maintained a continuous test environment (Jenkins) based on a Watir, Cucumber, Gherkin tech stack. Managed (vSphere) virtual machines for test and development. Wrote supporting Node JS, Python, and Ruby code. From January 2017 to October 2017 (10 months) Annapolis, MarylandApplied Research Engineer @ Ionic Security Performs web application analysis using Firebug, Burp, Internet Explorer F12, and Chrome Developer tools to understand how user-provided data is encoded and transported to associated server(s) in order to identify high-business-risk features in web applications. Uses Git, Java Script, JQuerry, and Python in support of these tasks. Daily activities include troubleshooting, quality-assurance testing, and documentation in a fast paced, research driven environment. From January 2015 to December 2016 (2 years) IT Systems Technical Specialist (Contractual) @ Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration Performed basic network analysis to gather, revise, and create dozens of Visio network diagrams depicting different degrees of critical system and network information for routine, planning, and contingency usesCreated, updated, and performed technical validation on over a dozen Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration Information Technology policies, instructions, manuals, and memorandumsMaintained training statistics for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration information security training program; automated many of these tasks using a combination of PowerShell and Active Directory queries From April 2014 to December 2014 (9 months) Evening Student @ University of Maryland University College Studies apart from my cybersecurity major include additional math (Trigonometry, Statistics, Calculus I and II), software development (Programming in Objective-C, Programming for iPhone and iPad & Software Engineering Principles & Techniques), and computer information science (Operating systems and Computer Architecture) classes From January 2013 to December 2014 (2 years) Application Developer 5 @ Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems Tested individual and combined approaches to improving speech detection accuracy and efficiency using two speech activity detection applications and a 7000 file test setTested audio anomaly detection software for negative impacts to a data analytic processing chain using six test sets totaling 50,000 filesInstalled and operated the Applied Signal Technology Speech Processing Technology and Digital Signal Distribution software in Red Hat Enterprise Linus (RHEL) 3, 4, and 5Refactored Raytheon's "Surveyor" sonar subsystem C++ code using Microsoft Visual studio 8 and the QT cross platform framework to ingest, route, and display high definition sonar dataDeveloped threaded, object oriented Python web applications used for instrumentation of data analytics; integrated existing content modeling libraries with cherryPy and gnu plot; experimented with PyWin32Analyzed Perl, Python and Java application source code for three implementations of software that apply MIT Lincoln Labs Human Language Technology to Applied Signal Technology's Digital Signal Distribution Software From 2009 to 2013 (4 years) Soldier @ U.S. Army Advised Battalion Staff and field station leadership on signals analysis topics; coordinated protocol and other preparations for 200+ VIP visitorsOversaw the professional development, training and certification for all collection and signals analysis Soldiers on site; evaluated and recommended operational improvements for 20+ analysis and collection PositionsAssessed and oversaw network and facility upgrades at a 24/7 DOD field station used by three battalions and over 200 military, contract, civilian, and foreign partner personnel; managed logistics and distribution for a 100% network and systems refreshInstructed the advanced communications signals analysis (452/K2) course, taught technical material including: modulation methods, ANSI C, UNIX, C Shell, bitstream analysis, multiplexing, and network protocolsRevised a computer networking analysis class; reduced lecture time from 40 to 24 hours and increased time for hands on learningJoined disaster recovery teams to restore technical operations following a direct hit from category three hurricane IvanSupervised the relocation of a DOD analytic course to include it's network assets; oversaw tests and audits that ensured that no loss, compromise, or corruption of course materials or software occurredWrote a C program in 48 hours that automated data recovery from a war time target and eliminated a slow manual processDeployed on seven multi-national field survey missions; led threeLed a multi-person computer to computer survey team in analyzing, characterizing, and identifying unique protocol structures and ways to exploit themDeveloped analysis and exploitation tools for a software suite used against a range of similar communications systems From 1989 to 2009 (20 years)
