Coding Expertise
Throughout my years of experience, I have been heavily involved with work inside the federal and state government. I am proud of my Top Secret security clearance, CompTIA Server+ Certification , and my CompTIA Security+ Certification . While working for the State of Maine, I earned my nomination for a CARES award by providing excellent customer service through good communication skills and technical knowledge. A year later, I went on to receive formal congratulations after presenting the first automated test case for the Ground Weapons Systems program under DSI which ultimately promoted me to Automation Team Lead!
My programming skills cover a large base ranging from software programming, cloud development, DevOps, security, analytical tools, and so much more!
Relevant Experience
It has been my privilege to have experience working with Robins Air Force Base, State of Maine, Wright Patterson AFB, Davis Strategic Innovations, and Kforce. Over the past four and a half years I have held the title of Mid-Level Cloud Developer, Automation Team Lead, and Software Developer!
Kforce
In three months, I was able to accomplish 3 times the average workload. Not only did I push terraform code, security group changes, and IAM Role modifications- I also deployed a kafka cluster, built an AMI builder pipeline using federal provided Docker-in-Docker images, and wrote multiple Ansible scripts
DSI under Lockheed Martin
For Davis Strategic innovations I navigated automation up the entire product chain from writing Eggplant test cases to matching product requirements for created work. I have constructed pipeline solutions using Jenkins, Jfrog, and Groovy code in an effort to increase product deliverability and security
Wright Patterson AFB
For Wright Patterson I deployed Gitlab runners that executed jobs to create service containers, security tests, and unit tests to push into Jfrog. There have been many examples where I effictively communicated with other teams to solve dependency issues for building our project successfully
The State of Maine
For the State of Maine I was able to rewrite the structure of a program called Local Health Officers through first full-stack analysis, documentation over multiple pages, and many bug fixes. My work additionally involved JavaScript programming for Rhapsody that utilized JavaScript for data manipulation
Robins AFB
For Robins AFB I created a dynamic calendar, rewrote entire pages for better programming flow, and fixed bugs. My career as an Elasticsearch Engineer saw machine learning, security rules, integration packages, python scripts, and resource management tests being employed
