Cheif Systems Engineer

• Provided design support and infrastructure build out for city-wide security network and camera system. The system is comprised of Windows 2008 servers, Virtualization Servers, IP Cameras, Cell Towers, and power systems.
• Configured and Deployed IXSystems TRUNAS for project support
• Developed custom health and performance monitoring software for TRUNAS storage arrays
• Developed Kickstart deployment scripts for the system
• Maintained and Documented deployment platforms
• Performed system security duties, including documentation, security scans, and configuration management and government reporting.
• Developed system performance monitoring metrics and system deployment with a custom metrics server
• Developed custom electronics, and code to monitor cell, power, and camera systems
• Developed user interface C for alert reporting and performance monitoring
• Developed analytic s for metrics server to monitor network security, such as tracking user movements, automated penetration testing etc. This is a custom architecture, in which I can develop analytic plugins to monitor and enhance network level security. Future metrics and analytics are intended to bring forensic capabilities found in tools such as encase, to an enterprise level, in near-real-time.
