Currently working on the National Data Exchange (N-DEx) program sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I provided years of experience using the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) and Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) in developing XML and XSLT for law enforcement agency data into N-DEx. I also provide technical support in the review of program XML data models, schemas, and associated documentation for the N-DEx IEPDs.

Worked on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Reference Architecture and Capabilities Tool (ReACT) project providing knowledge of and experience with data modeling and IEDP life cycle methodologies. I provided the project with the knowledge of and experience with the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) and Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) including requirements gathering, analysis techniques, documentation requirements, and configuration management requirements; and performed analysis and component development for data exchanged between critical task and processes within the emergency management disciplines. Other duties included direct support to project management with the development of project related documentation i.e., Project Development Plan, Concept of Operations document, and Product Evaluation Questionnaire and Summary Report.

Previously worked on the Border and Transportation Security (BTS) Data Exchange Project sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This project included the development and application of data exchange consensus standards for DHS with a focus on border and transportation security data exchange requirements where the focus was on the development of a common XML reference schema and controlled vocabulary (data element dictionary) that mapped to four high priority border security data sources: the DHS ENFORCE/IDENT and TECS, and the FBI IAFIS, and NCIC. As part of supporting this initiative, I was working on the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) development by providing analysis and component development, building an ontology for immigration data, Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM), and the DHS Databases. In support of the DHS BTS domain information sharing developments, I also participated in the Intelligence Community Metadata Working Group (IC MWG) and the DHS Enterprise Data Management Office (EDMO) Data Management Working Group (DMWG). I provided technical support to the DNI OCIO Data Architecture Division, the Intelligence Community Metadata Working Group, and the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2006 biometric specification working group, and several DHS HSARPA projects including Border Net and the Maricopa County, AZ, Federated Query Web services prototype where I developed schemas and mappings. I also was the co-founder of the Homeland Security and Defense Information Interoperability Committee (HSDII) through the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association (GEIA) where I performed the duties of secretary.

Worked on an industry consensus standard for the Border and Transportation Security (BTS) Data Exchange Project sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association (GEIA) ANSI Standards body. I was one of the principal component developers of the standard. This standard is currently being developed in XML Reference Schema language using XML Spy and TurboXML. The XML reference schema, in turn, will provide the data definitions and relationships, and the XML data structures needed to develop XML document schemas (templates) for BTS information exchange packages. I currently interact with the BTS and other security agencies primarily focusing on four high priority databases for border patrol and customs enforcement operations: IAFIS and NCIC (FBI), and ENFORCE/IDENT and TECS (DHS). I am responsible for schedules and deliverables to ensure all products are delivered with the highest quality and on time. Other work included working with the Configuration Management Advisory Group in the finalization of the new Configuration Management military standards AMC-STD-2549, the EIA-649, EIA-836, and military handbook MIL-HDBK-61. The EIA-836 development includes using XML for the design of configuration management schemas and DTD’s.

The OSD LAMP/IDE Project on the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Customs Technology Support task includes the development of the Configuration Management Plan and system Technical documents such as the System Architecture Document (SAD), Information Support Plan (ISP), Training Plan, and Test Plan. Other duties include the management and validation of the system data model using ERWin to ensure compliance with IDEF modeling standard requirements. Previously worked on the OSD CALS IDE Project for the Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) Interoperability Architecture Support task. This task involves working with XML and the NATO Joint IETM Architecture Task Force using the AECMA Specification 1000D as the core data specification.

Worked on the OSD CALS IDE Project as Task Leader for the Interactive Electronic Technical Manuel (IETM) Conversion Operation research task. This research involved surveying the need for IETM conversion services, formulating an IETM conversion concept of operation, fully analyzing the conversion of legacy data to pre defined data constructs, and providing a demonstration to prove the concept of operation developed. Standards that were utilized during this project were MIL-x-87268/269, MIL-M-28000, ISO 8879, and ISO 10744. This research also involved defining IETM data types, researching existing ETM COTS products for CALS compliance, and developing a Conversion Strategy Plan and COTS Test Plan.

Worked on the design and implementation of the EPLRS PDSS Interactive Testing System. This task involved research and development of a new interactive database environment that includes new COTS products integrated in with existing hardware and software system. The design also includes automating manual tasks such as Configuration Management, Trouble Report and Engineering Change Proposal system, and the testing environment. These automated designs were in accordance with the philosophies and procedures from DoD-STD-2167 and 2168.

Prior to the OSDCALS contract, took on the task of Configuration Manager for the ASCAN project. This position included the development and implementation of the Configuration Management (CM) plan, and establishing the CM department. This task also involved the logging of ASCAN deliverable documents and using PVCS Version Manager for version control of all developed software and the delivery of that software to the customer.
