Project Highlights

May 2010 – Present: As a sub-contractor in support of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), developed a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application to provide details and pictures of shipboard sensor devices through the web. This application presents fleet-wide data gathered from each ship’s SCS data created using the SCS Configuration Editor detailed below. The WPF browser application uses a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service as a data access layer.

May 2010 – Present: As a sub-contractor in support of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), developed a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application to provide details and pictures of shipboard sensor devices through the web. This application presents fleet-wide data gathered from each ship’s SCS data created using the SCS Configuration Editor detailed below.

November 2007 – Present: As a sub-contractor in support of NOAA, designed and developed a database and windows forms application that stores the configuration information required to define a ship’s electronic sensors and the messages that they send. The sensor configuration information is used for real-time data acquisition and display applications. This configuration editor replaces an older file-based system within NOAA’s larger Scientific Computer System (SCS), and is being constantly maintained and updated. Developed with .NET and a SQL Server database.

September 2006 – Present: As a sub-contractor in support of NOAA, designed and developed a database and web-based system that stores NOAA’s fleet allocation plan and ship schedules, gathers daily activity information from deployed ships, and provides varied reports. This system is being maintained and updated. Developed with .NET, SQL Server, and SQL Server Reporting Services.

May 2006 – November 2009: Consultant/Subcontractor to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), Washington, DC. Designed business processes to support the MPF(F) ship design program. Developed workflows and reports in Open Text’s LiveLink platform. Providing varied IT and software engineering support as needed to the program.

October 2005 – December 2006: As a consultant to RS Information Systems and in support of NMAO, implemented a business process management system to support the office. The system is built on Handysoft’s BizFlow platform. Designed and developed a task tracking process using BizFlow development tools and API.

November 1996 – September 2006: As a consultant to CSC, and in support of several Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) ship design programs, served as lead developer on a project designing, developing, maintaining, and modifying a web-based document and process management system tailored for the needs of a ship design program.

The system (SWIFT) includes an extensible workflow module with process-driven routing of documents along with email notifications, role-based rights and security, audit trail maintenance and scheduling. A search engine is provided that allows for detailed searches across all document types in the system.

The system was updated regularly to meet new customer needs. Due to the longevity of this project, a wide variety of technologies were utilized, but the core system consists of an ASP.NET web interface with .NET middle tier components and an Oracle database. The database delivers documents as XML via java and PL/SQL procedures.

October – December 2004: Reengineered and developed an application to extract US bank evaluation data from a SQL Server database (migrated from a mainframe flat-file environment) and output to comma-delimited data files, which are used as input for an existing DOS application that uses the data to generate quarterly bank evaluation reports for the US Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. System includes data extraction stored procedures (Transact-SQL) and a controller application written in .NET (C#).

November - December 2003: As a consultant to CSC, implemented security into an existing web application. Security implemented in a pair of web services acting as security proxies in each side of a firewall. Proxies digitally sign SOAP messages using public key encryption (PKE) via the MS Web Services Enhancements (WSE).

September 2003 - May 2004: As a consultant to CSC in support of NAVSEA's LHA(R) ship design program -- documented, modeled, and integrated the program’s business processes in preparation for automation in Oracle’s eBusiness suite 11i. Involved in Oracle 11i eBusiness suite implementation for the program.

January - February 2003: As a consultant to CSC, deployed an Oracle 8i database for use in a Plumtree portal for the Missile Defense Agency. Also trained staff in basic administration and maintenance tasks for the database.

December 2002 - January 2003: As a consultant to CSC, created a Cold Fusion application to allow entry of Navy Adjudication Board (NAB) forms into an existing Oracle database for the T-AKE ship design program.

May 1997 - June 1998: As consultant to Manor Care Health Services, performed database and application design and development for a centralized clinical data repository system.

July 1996 - December 1996: Performed database design and server-side development for a marketing and sales management system for Manor Care Health Services.

June - August 1996: Created an IDEF1.x computer-based information model detailing the data involved in the medical provider re-credentialing process performed by BlueCross-BlueShield National Capital Area (BCBSNCA).

March 1995 - May 1996: In support of NAVSEA's Sealift Program, developed a software product to track program Action Items resulting from program reviews/meetings. Software tracks assignment of responsibility, status of tasks, due dates, etc.

August 1995 - April 1996: Designed and produced document-handling software for NAVSEA's Sealift Program. The software maintains document information and relationships between documents, and includes a capability for document lineage queries and viewing of document trees.

June 1995 - May 1996: Developed and maintained an information model and prototype database software that automates the Navy's Acquisition Planning process. Software development involved automating the Master Acquisition Planning Program (MAPP), an Acquisition Reform initiative that consolidated over 100 acquisition and logistics plans.

December 1994 - May 1995: Designed and produced software for NAVSEA's Computer Supported Design Group to assist in managing the Navy's CAD-II workstation system. Data managed by the database includes hardware and software configuration, orders and maintenance tracking, as well as user, training, and contractual data.

September 1993 - June 1994: Designed and developed a prototype database software product for assisting in the Navy's Live Fire Test & Evaluation program.

January 1993 - May 1993: For NAVSEA, developed and implemented a database of shipboard machinery to evaluate commonality of equipment among ships. Determined areas of high equipment proliferation, and evaluated methods of increasing equipment commonality in future ship construction.
