EXPERIENCE/ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

SENIOR SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER - Jul 2010- Present .

Prism, Inc. (2010-2011, subcontractor to ATSC), Rosslyn VA.
Salient Federal Solutions. (2011-2013, contractor to DoD, was ATSC), Alexandria VA.

Responsible for technical design, technical management and implementation of data interfaces between USXports (an intra-agency case management system for tracking applications for Munitions and Dual Use export licenses maintained by DoD, the Department of Defense) and other Department of State and Department of Commerce systems to implement the Export Control Reform (ECR) executive initiative. Created a loading module using XSLTs to map between agreed upon XML schema and USX entity model. Led cross-departmental working groups to agree on data transfer protocols. Created an attribute based, code first, method for persisting entity models and their properties that co-exists with legacy code-based methods. Updated outgoing XML generation and text of DoC licenses to be XSLT based. VS 2013 and WPF used to package (into Zip) and checksum test data. Revised ELISA, the USX public facing, web based, status query system, to support the additional departments resulting from ECR, presenting SQL Server generated XML as XHTML through XSLT. Created Crystal Reports. Cleared for DoD Top Secret information based on investigation completed in Jul 2011.

SENIOR ASP.NET E-COMMERCE DEVELOPER - Sep 2002-Jun 2009.

Apt Services, Inc. (2002-2007, contractor to FAA's National Aeronautical Charting Group), Glenn Dale MD.
L-3 Communications. (2007-2009, acquired FAA contract from Apt).

Designed, built and maintained ASP.net ecommerce application ( faacharts.faa.gov ) that sells aeronautical and nautical charts. Included separate intranet component for catalog and user maintenance that communicates through SOAP web service. Incorporated Sales Office-maintained catalog for over 10000 products available through individual sales, subscriptions, shipments and digital downloads. One of the first to tightly integrate a high volume application with US Treasury for credit card processing. App. interfaces with pre-existing back-end system for order fulfillment and telephone customer service. Nightly batch process contacts Treasury server to verify payment status. System grosses millions of dollars per year (increasing revenue and allowing phone staff attrition). System allowed introduction of downloadable aeronautical charts. Was never hacked (to our knowledge). Was converting from Sybase to Oracle database tier.

Designed, built and maintained Classic ASP ecommerce application that sold charts to resellers. Merged that into the application for the general public, converting ASP to ASP.net, retiring pre-existing technology application. This increased reseller satisfaction and sales as well as strengthened security. DOT Level 5 Clearance.

MASTER SYSTEMS ANALYST - Jun 1996-Jun 2002.

Research Analysis and Maintenance, Inc. (contractor to US Army National Guard), Arlington VA.

Supported Army National Guard recruiting internet (www.1800goguard.com) and intranet web sites. Wrote web application to ping web service (JScript.NET) every 15 minutes to insure uptime. Converted recruiting information request pages from Netscape Web Server / iPlanet / Oracle to MS IIS / ASP / MS SQL and supervised conversion of rest of web site. Unfortunately, it was over-stressed in the weeks after 9/11/01 with demand ten times normal. Authored ASP.net app. to report recruiter contact information downloaded from Active Army system, improving recruiter coordination. Tuned and maintained SQL Server. Performed web site analysis. Demonstrated Section 508 compliance techniques, including captioning videos. Composed privacy policy.

Directly accountable for development and maintenance of Army Training Ammunition Management System (ATAMS) and the Staff Management Application (SMA) utilizing CASE tool (COOL:Gen). ATAMS replaced paper communications and Excel recordkeeping, while SMA replaced personnel folders. Our end users said we wrote the best non-off-the-shelf programs that the Guard ever produced. Devised and deployed intranet app. to allow Guard members to view SMA contact information, improving accuracy of that information. Analyzed and released Military Order creation program using embedded web browser which reduced the average processing time for these orders from a month to days ('High Priority' orders to hours, not days, and the number of High Priority orders was cut 66%). Implemented automated ftp and scripted telnet system for data transfer with legacy mainframe which improved timeliness over the former inconsistent manual process. Directed system testing. DISCO Cleared for Secret, Nov 96-Jun 02.
