• Successfully delivered first version on schedule with tools to ease integration and future backward compatibility needs.

Computer Information Research Scientist

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• software design and development for building, deploying, and maintaining cyber ranges and testing virtual networks of size Develop and maintain software for automating deployment, provisioning, and testing on large networks (10,000+ nodes) of virtual (VMware) and physical machines.
• Designed, implemented, and demonstrated a front and back-end integration of the linux cron daemon with our test automation system and a responsive Twitter Bootstrap browser interface featuring real-time status monitoring with Ajax powered object-oriented PHP.
• My interface won the team extra funding and an invitation to demonstrate our system to other potential customers.
• Augmented automation testing tool suite (Python) that reduced system tests requiring hundreds of man hours to tens of minutes.
• Responsible for DART feature enhancements and integration with third-party software (e.g. Chef, Puppet, Vagrant, etc.).
• Lab representative to customers for integrating and troubleshooting local software deployments.
