GCSS-AF/Global Force Management Data Initiative

April, 2010 – September, 2011  — DoD Secret Clearance

Senior Systems Engineer and Informatica developer on Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM-DI) overseen by the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  The project involves concurrent facilitation of force structure data sharing, ensuring unique information exchanges between enterprise systems on the Global Information Grid (GIG) and mitigating data collision issues across the DoD Enterprise.  Skills include Teradata, Oracle and ERwin.

Proactively suggested creating a separate integration test strategy and environment for the most recent release slated for August 2011. This resulted in the creation of a separate testing environment and expanded duties to run weekly installation tests and report results to the PMO.

Proactively researched and provided objective evidence to the Evanhoe & Associates leaders to demonstrate that the GFM-DI project conforms to most of the CMMI Level 3 requirements.  This resulted in assignment to organize a focus group across the business to do a preliminary gap analysis with a SCAMPI C planned for the fall of 2011.
