RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:
EOIR Technologies Occoquan, VA 2/04 - Present
In charge of integrating and providing a base system software environment
to manage unattended sensors in a command and control environment.
This effort has been instrumental in the Networked Sensors for
the Future Force (NSFF) and C4ISR Integration Testbed efforts.
Responsibilities include:
* Developed reference implementation of newly approved Sensor Data
Link protocol (SDL). SDL is the approved JVMF compliant protocol
for connecting low bandwidth sensors and their controllers.
* Participated in the validation and development of the SDL protocol.
* Design and implement robust wireless communications
infrastructure along with tools to aid in the debugging and
development. The infrastructure is implemented in combination of C++
and Java with code generation of both Java and C++ performed by Ruby.
* Interface with sensor developers to define sensor and protocol
requirements for integrating sensors with a command and control
vehicle.
* Developed software to integrate legacy sensors with low bandwidth
wireless protocols.
* Managed the construction and maintenance of a HMMWV and Bradley
vehicles as reconnaissance vehicles containing both computer hardware,
radio hardware, and software.
Promisemark, Inc. Fairfax, VA 1/01 - 2/04
In charge of designing and implementing infrastructure and integration
components for sending out all emails, managing the database, and many
other essential operations. The mailer component is capable of sending

backwards compatibility with older versions of the software and allow
easy insertion into existing applications. Numerous monitoring
features and improved reliability implementations have been added
since the project was started.
Motley Fool: presently working on a mail system capable of
delivering in excess of one million different messages in an hour each
of which is specifically tailored to the content and known habits of
the recipients. Responsibilities include creating initial product
design and implementation and managing a team of developers in the
second generation of the software to add additional capabilities.
Bell Atlantic and The Bus Zone: network security scan resulting
in a report detailing what problems were found and recommendations
to improve security.
E-Know: developed a product that guarantees the delivery of
messages through phone, pager, or email and presents the user with
statistics on the average response time and number of responses
currently received.
Capitol Steps: replaced a main office NT server with a Linux
server capable of running the web site, sharing drives, acting as a
print spooler, DCHP server, and mail server for the entire office.
E-Know, Inc. Herndon, VA 5/00 - 1/01
Helped design and implement software to produce an enterprise-scale
