EXPERIENCE:

For the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, conducted a User Needs Assessment and designed four alternative MIS architectures to satisfy the needs of 8600 employees.The MISs focus on Decision Makers and their collaborative information needs. Migration plans to tightly coupled Client-Server configurations were proposed and accepted.

Assisted in the requirements analysis, alternative architecture design analysis, cost/benefit analysis, and lifecycle cost estimate for the FAA s real-time 20 megabyte per day National Operational Data Archive NODA . For SAIC and the FAA, built a working prototype Environmental Impact Noise Model that streamlines noise levels calculations.

For the US Army, developed "best effective use" options for the base closure of Jefferson Proving Ground. The Project focused on community economic and social needs and for the safe but cost effective remediation required. Assisted in a DOD MAISRC cost analysis 700 million for the Army Corps of Engineers. Major contribution to the Feasibility and Cost Analysis for DOD s consolidation of the PX/BX/MX Information Systems into a single MIS.

Managed a six person team that converted SECRET Trident missile launch and flight testing software for the US Navy and John s Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. Evaluated CASE tools and Rapid Prototyping formal software development methodologies. Repaired and greatly enhanced a Capacity Planning model. Converted, maintained, extended, and optimized up to1200 the Naval Officer Personnel System tracking the Navy s 75,000 officers.

Extensively researched and developed a 120-module APL code and data object reuse database system for the US Postal Service. This system permitted the retrieval and erasure of large APL workspace objects in order to remain within the 640KB memory limitations of the 80286 computers. The system centrally organizes code and data objects developed over many years by many users. The system also acts as a "chain of custody" tool to revisit and explain past decisions. Developed additional software tools to populate the object repository.

Senior Systems Analyst - New Business Developer Developed marketing leads, wrote winning proposals, and developed schedules and budgets. Integrated PC based business systems and also 25 to 50 million dollars federal government COTS hardware, software, and service procurements. Developed IBM PC utilities in Assembler and C using hardware BIOS interrupts. Optimized IBM PCs inexpensively. Researched, developed, and tested a Stock Market Technical Analysis Trading System.

Converted and documented a SECRET 75 module Assembler and FORTRAN Army chemical wargame model. Prototyped a Submarine Overhaul Scheduling System to reduce maintenance while increasing fleet availability.

For a proposed Information Utility, performed marketing studies, collected financial data, and then conducted Break Even Analysis, Return On Investment, Forecasted Revenues and Operating Expenses, and other studies for financial planning. Later analyzed the thinking styles of probable system users to developed rapid prototypes of user interfaces for Stock Market forecasting and statistical data dissemination Information Utilities.

Identified user s needs and financial constraints and then developed an appropriate Project Tracking System for the US Synthetic Fuels Corporation to oversee their management of five billion dollars in corporate loan guarantees. Was competitively awarded a contract to deliver the corporation s accounting system and staff training.

Conducted an extensive User Needs Assessment to develop Financial-Actuarial Supplemental Security Income SSI model used quarterly in Congressional testimony by the Social Security Administration. Provided expert technical assistance to clients in their efforts to solve problems involving general algorithmic development, APL, BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/I, SPSS, SAS, IBM Utilities, TSO, WYLBUR, VSAM, and SYSTEM 2000.

Forecast US energy consumption with the Industrial Sector Technology Use Model 30 engineering technologies using 10 fuels . Repaired and enhanced the 400 APL module system and created its documentation. Executed the model and presented interpretive policy reports to the Department of Energy. Modified the payroll system.

Provided SAS, SPSS, and BMD statistical analysis services to University of Maryland professors and Ph.D. candidates. Designed and programmed real-time systems in FORTRAN II and Assembler on a DEC PDP-8L to control and statistically analyze multiple experiments. Organized and analyzed electric and gas consumption, weather, and sociological data for a price-elasticity study for the New York State Rate Commission. Organized and statistically analyzed hospital emergency room personal injury data for the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Conducted User Needs Assessments and developed codebooks and coding forms. Graphically summarized the environmental and biological data. Developed an E-MAIL system. Designed and developed database and statistical application software for research and academic programs. Designed and developed a system to conduct the statistical analysis of US Census household data. Debugged and documented PAX, an image processing package.
