Importance Of Endpoint Security In Organizations

* Technology –   Information Operations/Computer Network Operations & Exploitation; Infrastructure design and integration;  Software development; Electronics manufacturing engineering * Programs and Product Management – Contracts execution; Budgeting; Scheduling; Proposal writing; Profit & Loss evaluation; Distributed team management * Education – Master’s of Science in computer engineering with emphasis in data mining and forecasting * Security Clearances – Top Secret/SCI/SSBI/CI (Counterintelligence) polygraph; prior DOE-Q

* Deployed indoor (employee monitoring) and outdoor security, lighting, and surveillance systems. * Planned and deployed WiFi solutions using mapping tools including inSSIDer and Ekahau HeatMapper to demonstrate adequate campus wide coverage. These deployments were initiated to increase customer retention and enjoyment. * Developed comprehensive technology and business implementation plans including Profit and Loss plans, partnership agreements, business development strategies, business continuity plans, compliance strategies, and disaster recovery plans for small businesses.

attack testing based on reverse engineered protocols (using tools such as Wireshark) and on standards documents that included TCP/IP and proprietary protocols. Analyzed x86 and other executable code in IdaPro to identify static vulnerabilities, developed networked test beds, and identified requirements for emulation platforms for vulnerability and security assessments against embedded proprietary hardware. Wrote assessment white papers in accordance with contract requirements. * Success Story Nomination for two Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) software development contracts. The contracts were for computer defense products, one dealing with Type 1 bare metal hypervisor virtualization (an advanced software protection competitor to VMWare) and the second with code obfuscation (competitor to VMProtect).

* Successfully managed a $50M contract with a geographically distributed integrated product team of more than 40 engineers and contractors building an airborne, theater-wide centralized Battle Management Command and Control system. Architecture designer for computing infrastructure solution. Ultimately responsible for providing technically mature systems within cost and schedule constraints. * Chaired Technical Risk Management board. Developed “phase in” strategies to mitigate risks associated with server and software COTS technologies. Many of the extreme performance systems that we required were not yet commercially available within the Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) constraints of the airborne platform. My contributions included developing risk mitigation and integration plans that provided near term testing on available platforms and drop in replacements when viable COTS solutions became available. In this role, long term versus short term impact, cost impact and schedule impacthad to be recognized and evaluated.

* Managed the Operations and Maintenance group providing the 24×7 Network Operations Center help desk and deployment and integration services for a worldwide, highly secure, high availability IP and telephony network. The Combat Air Force Distributed Mission Operations Network (CAF/DMO-DMT) provides low latency integration services for deployed simulator assets.

* Performed on-site Engineering, Furnish, and Installation Service (EF&I) for telecommunications network build-outs. This leveraged my familiarity with demarcation points, wiring closets, and ability to coordinate with vendors.

* Senior Systems Engineer for DARPA NEST/SOCOM wireless sensor network solution in a Lead Systems Integrator role. Proximal and stand-off sensors included acoustic, seismic, magnetic, infrared, and image. Program goals were to “bring to market” a comprehensive off-the-shelf Track Management solution. * Architecture designer for transitioning wireless product from demonstration program to marketed solution. Primary point of contact and negotiator for vendors, manufacturers, subcontractors, and customers. Ultimately responsible for requirements specifications, project planning, systems integration, field testing, assessment reports, project cost, schedule, and product technical performance. * Proposal writer and technical integrator for SOCOM, DARPA, and other business pursuit efforts. These $2M to $50M contracts included wireless and wired computing technology solutions, Operations and Maintenance solutions, wearable computing solutions, and wireless sensor network solutions.

* Tested commercial grade WiFi equipment for security, interoperability, distance, and interference limitations for deployment within high-traffic environments including hotels and other business establishments. Testing was especially focused on interference limitations because of the non-controlled nature of the environments. * Designed Local Exchange Carrier and Customer Premise integration test beds for commercial network deployments. These test beds required OSHA compliance and employed test equipment including FIREBERD communications analyzers, protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, cable testers, and standardized endpoint devices. * Wrote embedded assembly line software system for Case IH Agriculture and Farm Equipment final acceptance testing that included an electrical interface test bed with frequency, pressure, and temperature transducers. * Championed business partnerships and provided comprehensive solutions that included business process continuity, training, marketing, andcall centers. Single source solutions focused on reducing costs and risks, and increasing customer satisfaction. Efforts concentrated on network operations, software development, and systems integration. * Authored white papers and created training courses in software engineering, network design, and competitive trade studies to standardize client presentations, processes, and development environments.
