Software Engineer Feb. 1997 – Dec 1997

De La Rue ASI

• Responsible for two of four software components (CIS and CMS) as part of a multi-technology, multi-application IC chip-based ("Smart Card") application. Both of which use Object-Oriented Programming.

A centralized system that produces a Smart Card uniquely identified to an individual and functional in terms of a color photo ID, 3 of 9 bar code, signature panel and IC chip applications (initially, an electronic purse).

The design objectives for this component subsystem:

• Enhance the current card issuance printer platform at United States Military Academy to integrate chip functionality as part of the following two-step process: (1) Card Formatting, electronic purse directory files, and a secured transport key to open the purse directory, and (2) Card Population and Printing (establishing a purse security architecture; printing logo, bar code and digitized photo; and assigning values to data elements).
• Provide both initial card issuance and card reissuance capabilities, including a common database link to the Card Management System (CMS) to enable CMS-initiated authorization for card reissuance.
• Implement the security key methodology and support a SAM-card based security scheme defined under the total system security architecture.
• Provide system access protection.
• Maintain modifiable access control parameters to the component’s functionality.
• Provide a data base management system (DBMS) to maintain and output to screen or hardcopy card issuance data as well as system access and system performance logs.

A centralized system that manages card inventory, controls the deactivation and reissuance of active cards, and provides administrative access to electronic purse and MARC-related data elements. The CMS may co-reside with the CIS on the same platform, or be a stand-alone PC-based system.

The design objectives fulfilled by this component subsystem:

• Provide the capability to view/modify card-based cadet and electronic purse data.
• Provide an authorization process enabling remote system components (such as the Load and Purchase Devices) to deactivate a reported lost or stolen card.
• Provide an authorization process enabling the CIS to reissue a card as a replacement for one that is lost, stolen or damaged. This enabling process will require a common database link to the CIS.
• Enable card interoperability on several academic campuses.
• Provide for lost/stolen card hot list management for a Smart Card System.
• Provide for exception-case handling processes, such as unlocking a card or allowing the cadet to redeem the remaining balance in the electronic purse in cash.
• Maintain modifiable access control parameters to the component’s functionality.
• Implement the security key methodology and support a SAM-card based security scheme defined under the total system security architecture.
• Provide system access protection.
• Provide a data base management system (DBMS) to maintain and output to screen or hardcopy card management data as well as system access and system performance logs.

System Analyst June 1996-Feb. 1997

• Managed day-to-day applications for multiple departments consisting of multiple Windows NT database servers. Supported over 20 end users on Ethernet topology using TCP/IP protocols using Windows 95 workstations.
• Supported client/server RDBMS applications consisted of word processing, spreadsheets, group scheduling and Internet E-mail (SMTP). Researched further automation projects which included network based documents management systems, Intranet WWW Database connectivity and network DC-ROM servers.
• Managed and evaluated UNIX application performance to identify informational and application (Consolidated Billing System) which is an Oracle and Smalltalk based database application and Visual Works front-end. Supported Oracle back-end database administration with subcontracting company to develop Accounting Department functionality.
• Provided in-house troubleshooting and training support for Windows-based applications. Assisted system administrator with network (windows NT server) and application upgrades, configuration and the design/implementation of new information services.
• Participated in trial runs of new applications documentation of procedures, training and user services.
• Developed and maintained a relational database for DIGEX Human Resources department. A client/server application (DIGEX Employee Tracking System) that can service multiple departments across UNIX and LAN servers. Visual Basic was used for back-end programming of the system. Primary and Foreign keys were incorporated for data integrity checks.

CellularONE Company Jan. 1995 to March 1996

• Involved in system design, development, testing, and operations of a relational database for Accounts Receivable Department using MS Access.
• Developed forms for inventory, managerial information, customer services, staff accounts and follow-up operations.
• Managed workstations, designed standardized Windows desktops and trained users in business applications. Solved connectivity issues for workstations and network printers. Installed and repaired workstation/Laptop hardware.

Graduate Research Assistant 1994 to 1995

• Assisted project manager by conducting surveys of MD, VA, and DE regions. Used SAS to develop programs on IBM mainframe, merged data files to do statistical analysis on certain variables. Created model analysis using SAS regression. Used Quattro Pro to design and manipulate data.

Statistician 1994

State Department of Agriculture

Supported all system related H/W, S/W upgrades and operating system changes. Monitored system activity and executed actions accordingly by utilizing tools such as SAR and HPO Openview Operations Center and Network Node Manager. Assisted in many day-to-day behind the scenes system operations. Worked closely with every department to ensure that uses have the appropriate access necessary to perform their jobs. Performed essential state-wide agricultural crop reports based on pricing and production issues for the State of Maryland. Drafted and published the "Evaluation of Livestock & Poultry Farmers in Maryland Watersheds" with the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Used SAS for mainframe and later SAS for Windows to analyze data collected. Analysis included research, design and execution using the following methods: regression analysis, frequency distribution, and mean breakdowns. The evaluation project took approximately one year for completion. Served as project leader for report.
