Work Experience
Booz Allen Hamilton, Aberdeen, MD (2012 – Present)
Senior Software Engineer/ Senior Project Lead
I am the senior software engineer/project task lead EMD with a team of engineered and developed the Soldier Maintainer
Tool Set for DCGS-A and PEO C3T which consist of a color touch screen and embedded ARM computer. The device is a
Linux OS using Tomcat, Java and Qt software. The object of the device is to do backup and recovery of virtual machines and
to turn off and turn on server stack hardware and VMs an ESXi software with a single push of a button. I worked with our
fabrication shop to design and construct the anodized aluminum enclosure housing the screen and device. A number of units
were produced and deployed in Army Labs and on tactical infrastructure. The project incorporated a complete software life
cycle process incorporating Agile and a lean unified process with graphical artifacts created using Unified Modeling Language
(UML). Phase 2 provided LRIP for various demonstration events and Government lab use.
I managed multi-million dollar software/ hardware project that integrated them into a transportable tactical server solution for
the U.S. Army (C4ISR & DCGS-A) and USMC. We created synergies between disparaging open source cloud and non-
cloud software applications. Using infrastructure and software as a service solution we provide a common infrastructure that
provides entry and exit criteria for cross service applications to reside on a tactical common transportable/mobile server
solution. The entry criteria included a road map for security classification accreditation for both the software and hardware. I
implemented an Application lifecycle Management (ALM) process, an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), Software Quality
Assurance (SQA), Risk Management and supported the sustainment of Configuration Management (CM). Using my software
engineering background I architected and designed a simplified ESXi interface for field use of backup and recovery of virtual
machines. My responsibilities included managing a 40 person team that included sub-contractors. I interface on a regular
basis with the U.S. Government clients discussing direction, support, capabilities, deployments and logistics. The project was
to develop a scalable computing platform to execute cloud capacities as part of federated nodes to ingest, mine and distribute
information products to analysts. The follow on task with a team of 12 was working with the government client to create a
command post computing environment (CPCE) creating efficiencies between different program offices and execute the
integration of software on a common operating environment.
