State of
Oregon Military Dept. Office of Emergency Management, Salem, Oregon 9/2011-Present
Ops Center Program Analyst
Primary
role is maintaining the technology environment used in Oregon’s Emergency
Coordination Center, which is Oregon’s situation room. Our server environment
hosts some of Oregon’s most secure networks in the state including FBI, State
Police, and military networks. My responsibility includes managing a highly
secured DMZ for hosting classified web applications. Management of several multi-faceted
software development projects with stake holders state wide, often with
differing needs/views. Management of the phone system used when Oregon is fully
activated in an emergency. Maintenance of 60 laptops. Satellite phone system. Microwave
internet, wireless internet, 3/4G internet, and wide band wireless internet. Mobile
trailer equipped with a Windows network. Maintain disaster recovery sites,
which includes rapid deployment of replacement network infrastructure. Selected Contributions:
- Currently
rebuilding the internal office network environment, replacing a Linux
based network with a current Windows based server environment. The new
environment includes using virtual technology, clustering, Exchange email
server, Intranet, Sharepoint, WSUS, DNS, DHCP, KVM over IP, VPN, and cell
phones. In addition to replacing the network I will be providing training
to the network staff to help them manage and maintain the network.
- I’ve
brought many of our project partners together to help solve challenges in
our current project portfolio. For example in three different instances
I’ve been able to get code from one agency to help another agency solve an
application development challenge, which saved both time and money. The
projects owners were previously unaware that they were using the same
technology and duplicating efforts. I often work in a liaison capacity to
solve problems or bring partners together to solve particularly difficult
technology challenges, often designing one of a kind solutions.
- Rebuilt
the DMZ hosting web applications
after finding several wide open attack vectors. Then I successfully
migrated several web servers hosting legacy code into a current a Windows
server environment, which increased security of the applications and solved
an issue that had been previously unsolvable.
- Working
with a state wide team to build a state of the art GIS system to include
emergency information, weather, web cams, earth quake information, and critical
infrastructure protection. In addition the software can do analysis and
prediction of catastrophic events that could occur. The project
incorporates ArcGIS Server using REST services, Flex API, and WebEOC, and
a mobile application built for iPad.
- Introduced
new application development standards including the use of version control
software, test/production systems, SCRUM development methodology.
