I would also assist these project managers with artifact collection, meeting facilitation and writing documentation. The main goal of the PMO was to provide high quality services and support to Edaptive’s project managers. The secondary responsibility held by all members of the PMO was to create corporate documentation and standardization practices. I worked with the PMO Manager and fellow teammates to develop critical documentation such as the organizational charter, standard operating procedures, corporate templates, and project specific templates.

Responsibilities Performed and Experience Acquired

Performing automated and manual system testing including integration & regression.

Following an annual release schedule, the DbidS application was undergoing system testing for a majority of the calendar year. There were multiple testing cycles that required detailed and complex testing scenarios to locate any defects or issues with the system. I began my work as a software tester by performing user acceptance testing (UAT) for previously developed test cases. Using HP Quality Center (QC) I would track and log the manual testing progress as I completed each test case. In addition to manual testing, I was also equipped with using HP Quick Test Pro (QTP). Using scripts developed by the test lead, I would execute all test cases assigned to ensure the functionality of the system was responding as normal. As I progressed I was introduced to Integration, Regression, and Unit Testing. Here I was responsible for ensuring that the functionality of the application was performing as expected, ensuring that any code changes, bug fixed, and/or any other modifications to the application had no alteration(s) on the system’s functionality, and ensuring that captured information was reporting accurate information, as expected, to the application’s database servers. The final type of testing that I was introduced to was System Load/Performance testing. For the DbidS system, the functional requirements of the system required load testing for 5,000 consecutive users. Using HP LoadRunner, I assisted the development team and project managers with monitoring and overseeing the successful completion of this requirement. Using customer test facilities, our team would deploy dummy data into the software application mimicking that of 5,000 consecutive users. As a supplementary element to the requirement, the sustainment was required to be at a minimum of 10 hours with an average of 3 second response times. Using Loadrunner’s graphical user interface (GUI), I was responsible for deploying virtual instances into the application at periodic rates until the maximum of 5,000 instances was reached. Upon the completion of the deployment, I monitored the information systems infrastructure for any components that were under heavy load resulting in system timeout and/or prolonged response times.

Edaptive Systems — Owings Mills, MD Helpdesk Technician ................................................................................................................................................. 2009 – 2010

Position Summary: As a Helpdesk Technician with Edaptive Systems I was responsible for resolving and/or troubleshooting issues for employees of the

organization. Working with a team, the Helpdesk would resolve user issues for all hardware owned by the company including the VoIP phone system, corporate/customer work stations, etc… As I progressed as a Helpdesk Technician, I was assigned with the creation of a database that could be used to track the issuance of all corporate and government issued software. Using access, I was able to create this database to successfully manage and track hardware distribution. Upon the completion of this database, I was assigned with monitoring and updating it to reflect the assignment of equipment. Part of overseeing the database was to write corporate policies and processes that needed to be followed when equipment was released. These processes and policies included detailed information on distributing, allocating, tagging, logging, and maintaining corporate and government resources. My responsibilities working within the corporate helpdesk also required the imaging of new customer machines that were procured. The image required changing BIOS settings to comply with customer requirements (e.g. disabling the machines WiFI capabilities) and required the machine to operate off the customer approved operating system (Windows XP). As a supplementary responsibility, I also provided Helpdesk assistance with the Durable Medical Equipment Bidding System (DbidS). As a helpdesk technician for DbidS, I provided application support for bidders accessing the system by relaying technical solutions to the prime contractor’s helpdesk. The prime would then further the assistance of the customer to provide resolution.
