Principal Automation & Tools Developer @ Designing and developing front to back, web-based automation tools for Neustar's systems, SAN and network admins, InfoSec, NOC and SOC ops teams primarily using the following languages: JavaScript, AngularJS, ExtJS, PHP, Zend2, HTML, CSS and MySQL. A full suite of PHP class libraries was created in support of ServiceNow, HP SIM, DB CRUD, SSH, LDAP, SysLog, etc. Some examples include: - NeuMatic: Server build automation portal for VMware, AWS and bare metal integrating with Cobbler, Chef, DNS, LDAP and ServiceNow. Provides IaaS for Neustar staff. - D3: The DDoS Dashboard, created for the Security Ops Center (SOC) in support of Neustar’s UltraDNS and Site Protect products. It combines Arbor Networks Peakflow DDoS detection software API, Google Maps API and IP geo location data to display a real-time view of DDoS attack sources and destinations. - BladeRunner: Provides an aggregated, hierarchical view into physical host, virtual host & SAN storage infrastructure using APIs to access third party tools including HP SIM, IBM Systems Director, NetApp SANScreen and ServiceNow CMDB. It provides full search functionality, information and exception reporting, Excel exports, reservation capability and direct CMDB updates. - ACDC: Utilizes HTML5’s canvas element to provide a data center layout editor with rack elevation and asset detail views. Changes to asset location info are immediately pushed to CMDB. Racks can be selected, cut, copied, pasted, moved and edited. Data center staff use the tool to edit assets using a simple UI without having to navigate the more complicated ServiceNow CMDB. - GLASS: Corporate LDAP search and display of users, user groups, net groups and permissions eliminating the need for InfoSec involvement. - ZELDA: Serves as the UltraDNS router prefix announcement standard configuration database with full editing capabilities. Router configurations are polled in real time and compared to the standard configuration to view differences.
