related efforts including budget and program In Progress Reviews.
Worked with government to integrate Earned Value Metrics into regular
project briefings. Worked on successful task order recompete.
• In the CIO position, supervised a staff of 15 network and
development personnel. Oversaw a broad initiative to move towards
more modern web development techniques. These techniques yielded a
series of internal and external applications that feature improved
user interfaces and more open architectures. These applications
shared key development tools and approaches allowing for a shared
infrastructure that reduced application costs by leveraging common
approaches between engineers.
• In development
role duties revolved around creating a software and interface layer
to improve the interface for the Army's Military Intelligence
software tools. Created a 3D graphics based charting/analytical and
mapping tool. Mapping features included integration of parsing
capabilities for various GIS file formats including vector, raster
and depth formats. Mapping tools also included implementation of
sophisticated Google Earth style visualization with variable
resolution annotation tools. Also worked on a predictive analysis
add-on layer that used statistical and algorithmic techniques to look

FC BUSINESS SYSTEMS
Sierra Vista, Arizona
Web Project Manager, 2003 to
2004
• Core member of team working the transition
of the Army’s enterprise web application security architecture from
oversight by the RCERT to an operational team overseen by the Theater
Network Operations and Security Center (TNOSC). The architecture
consisted of a nationwide fielding of 50 NetApp reverse proxy devices
and associated Red Hat Linux web server logging computers. As part of
a service improvement initiative, analyzed shortcomings of existing
business processes and implemented a wide range of custom software
solutions to help the project run more efficiently. Included was the
first database of proxied sites, software to centrally manage the
security configuration of reverse proxies, software to analyze hacker
activity and to allow for vastly simplified response to newly
attempted exploits. These solutions created an enterprise level
security policy architecture for the Army's proxies and lessened the
vulnerability of Army web-based services to application based
security attacks. In particular, the access control lists protecting
Army web assets increased in size by more than 300 percent as a
direct result of implementation of this software resulting in a much
more comprehensive level of protection.
• In
addition, was responsible for implementing custom software to
automate creation of monthly reporting. This software allowed much
faster and efficient integration of key performance indicators (KPI)
in order to better drive improved customer satisfaction; what had
been a 3 or 4 day manual process was converted to a more accurate 1
or 2 hour automated process. Also instituted a web site monitoring
facility to allow proactive monitoring of end user web sites behind
the proxies.
IMSI/PLAN 3D INC
Tucson, Arizona
Director of 3D Content, 2000 to
2001
Chief Technical Officer, 2001 to 2003
• Worked on the content side of a pre-existing web-based 3D
floorplanning project. Supervised a small staff in the development of
software (in Java/JSP with an OpenGL native code interface) that
allowed collation and cataloging of 3D objects. Analyzed weaknesses
of project direction and approached management with a radically
improved business and technical approach. Wrote proof of concept
software in C++ (using ATL) to prove that the new approach was
practical.
• The project spun off into a small separate
company that featured the creation of a forward thinking web based 3D
technology. Served as CTO of new company and supervised two
development people and a coordination person. The resulting web based
floorplanning tool was extremely sophisticated including multiple
light source shadows, reflection techniques and full floorplan
editing in 3 dimensions, unusual for a product of this type. The
product has been used by over 100,000 people.
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE GROUP
San Diego, CA/Yarmouth, Massachusetts
IT Director,
1998 to 2000
• Supervised five people and the
creation of a loan funding system that greatly improved the
productivity of the servicer funding effort. Also supervised creation
of an Active Server Page based web technology to allow end users to
see their loan status.
• Personally developed custom tape
decoding software (in Visual Basic) to enable creation of an
integrated loan-servicing financial modeling system. Also created SQL
Server based software to integrate a variety of disparate loan
sources into one common database. This software allowed EFG to report
on its loan portfolio as a whole for the first time. Routinely worked
with the CFO and large accounting firms in preparing $50-$200M loan
portfolio transactions. This financial modeling system allowed EFG to
quickly and cleanly package loans for possible purchase or sale.
• Transferred to San Diego, CA. In charge of the San Diego IT effort,
supervised seven employees. Worked out of San Diego office three days
a week and two days from Sierra Vista, AZ.
