I have 20 years of experience in software engineering, government data standards, and proposal development. The most relevant buzzwords in my alphabet soup include:

• Software Development: Kotlin/Java, Python, JavaScript, and various web and UI frameworks
• Cloud Architecture: Amazon Web Services
• Data: Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Solr, Elasticsearch

I have also dabbled in Scala, R, Ruby, and many other technologies. I'm the creator and sole contributor for two open-source projects:

• Sparkour, an open-source collection of recipes for Apache Spark
• DDMSence, the only open-source library supporting the DoD Discovery Metadata Specification

• Proposal Support, Accenture Federal Services (formerly Novetta)
  October 2017 - Present
  
  I provide subject matter expertise and word wizardry on proposals and whitepapers, using adaptable, scalable software architectures.


• Senior Software Engineer, AtWork Systems, Inc., Herndon, VA
  November 2016 - August 2017
  
  I provided full-stack software engineering for a commercial, cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering.


• Senior Architect, Novetta (formerly FGM Inc.), McLean, VA
  May 2003 - November 2016
  
  I provided technical leadership, data strategy, and business development support across multiple DoD/IC projects. I was involved in DISA's Enterprise Services activities dating back to the inception of the Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) program, including Strategic Knowledge Integration Web (SKIWeb), Enterprise Service Monitoring (ESM), the Data Services Environment (DSE), Metadata Registry (MDR), Universal Core (UCore), and the DoD Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS).
  
  I also spearheaded division efforts to standardize and increase the efficacy of automated testing, and executed a pilot training opportunity to increase the number of AWS-certified architects and developers company-wide.
