Managed the development, integration, and implementation of an enterprise-wide automated on-line poultry inspection system via visible near infrared technology and was responsible for network, system and software security. Managed the laboratory routers and switches, and analyzed the network packets. The objective of this project is to develop a real-time, effective system for detecting diseases and contamination on poultry carcasses on-line.
In this position, I worked directly with Subject Matter Experts from varied onsite companies, some of whom supported different contracts from the IDS Team, Certification and Accreditation and System administration department. My principle duties of managing the laboratory routers and switches and analyzing anomalous network packets required me to translate their inputs and data into reports for both our senior and non-technical management.
