IBM Work Assignment 2
FEMA RiskMAP CDS, United States | Sep 2021 - Present

I am working as a member of the enhancement team- most notably helping implement SSO using keyclock across multiple apps. Then I was moved to the security team identifying, triaging, fixing (through code changes), or justifying vulnerabilities as discovered through Fortify and Webinspect following FEMA's directives and policies promoting the safety and security of our product. I am also working on data analysis work verifying spatial checks in ArcGIS pro and granting bypasses to data errors.

IBM Work Assignment 1
Bell Military MissionLink TO3 Phase 3, United States | Feb 2021 - July 2021

Under direct supervision, supported the creation of a prototype predictive analytics tool for Bell Helicopter for the ARMY. The Multi-Objective Mission Planner (MOMP) will allow Bell to predict operation windows based on data collected with Military MissionLink and/or other data sources. The preparation of this prototype is heavy on data configuration and results in the presentation via API. I ensured the data was ready for consumption by the Data Scientist as well as the configuration of connectivity between Cloud Pak for Data (CP4D) and our Azure environment. Simplifying the process of importing sample data and creating the API. We are on pace to provide a prototype to Bell with proof that our algorithm can predict specific equipment failure and potential maintenance-free operating periods (MFOP) with our first lift and shift code delivery.
