EXPERIENCE
2005–2010
CSC
Lanham, MD
UNIX System Administrator and Tivoli System Engineer
 Installed, integrated, and maintained Tivoli Management Framework 4.1.1, Tivoli Monitoring
for Transaction Performance (TMTP) 5.3, Tivoli Workload Scheduler, Tivoli Monitoring 6.2,
Tivoli Monitoring 6.2 for MQSeries, ITCAM for WebSphere V6.1, Tivoli NetView, Tivoli
Enterprise Console 4.9, and Tivoli Configuration Management 5.2 onto a clustered Solaris 10
platform running Oracle10g.
 Integrated, monitored, and created management metric reports for approximately 800 UNIX
(Solaris10) endpoints and 400 Wintel (W2K, W2K3) server endpoints.
 Maintained patching for all Oracle10g databases and all Solaris10 servers.
 Created scripts that monitored the License Enforcement Manager and Microsoft Security
Baseline Analyzer (MBSA) and collected data to meet Computer Security Incident Response
Center (CSIRC) requirements. Also created scripts for maintaining user accounts according to
the IRS Law Enforcement Manual (LEM) on Wintel, UNIX, and Oracle accounts.
 Managed user access to UNIX server through restricted x-term tasks. Also managed file
systems and performed system admin functions on the UNIX (Solaris) servers.
 Utilized Perl, XML, VB, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, and UNIX Shell scripting.
 Worked extensively with NIS, DNS, and sudo in the UNIX environment.
 Worked on plan to implement Tivoli Identity Manager (ITIM) 4.6, Tivoli Access Manager
(TAM) V5.1, Tivoli Directory Integrator for an LDAP environment in the Shadow Lab.
 Created Log File Collector scripts (LFC) which collected logs (syslog, BSM, audit, Oracle)
from UNIX servers and alert, security logs and user access logs on Wintel servers, tar’ed them
and distributed them to a collection server on a daily basis. The logs were then moved into a
SaaS database and used for user forensics for the specific servers. The LFC was moved to the
Production environment.
 Create a Shadow Operations Website in Perl and HTML for collecting daily health statistics of
the Wintel and UNIX servers in the DITE Shadow environment. This site also monitored
promotion and demotion to servers in the DITE environment and collected user, security, and
access reports.
