I am helping the customer improve his software security by showing them how to use PKI, Auditing, and ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) to improve the security of their systems. I am part of a team of 4 people. We are using JIRA AGILE to manage our work, using a 3 week sprint. Every sprint we each take about 30 of the applications . We phone up the owner and see if he/she needs any help. They may not need help because they may have their own team of developers, but if they do not then we log on to their system and make the changes necessary. I mainly work in Java, while my teammates work in Ruby, or Python.Sept 2014 Sept 2015: Leidos Inc. Java Developer Level 4I am working on maintaining a very large Java application consisting of over 1000 modules. Part of this application is developed in Eclipse RCP. This is primarily a Linux system using several Centos servers. The application communicates with SQL Server and it connected to the public internet. In production mode, this system runs on 8 different servers. One server runs Windows 2008, and the others all run Centos Linux. In development mode, I have all 8 servers each in a VMware partition on my desktop. The system uses iBatis for database processing (instead of Hibernate), it uses a COTs logging system, and it uses RESTful web services, and JSON. The windows server connects to the end-users workstations over a small network. Each of the Linux servers has a different purpose. They communicate with one another using RMI.April 2012 March 2013: Brickner, Kelly, & Associates (BKA) - SENIOR LOMBARDI TEAMWORKS SPECIALISTI was a Senior Lombardi Teamworks Specialist.
