Aug 2000 – Jan 2008, DXC Technology, Kansas City, MO

As a Web Developer and Systems Analyst at DXC Technology supporting the Department of Defense Finance and Accounting System (DoDFAS), I played a critical role in designing, developing, and maintaining a secure, web-enabled disbursing application used across U.S. military financial operations. My responsibilities spanned full lifecycle development, from requirements gathering and Oracle PL/SQL programming to test scripting, performance tuning, and production support. I worked in close coordination with internal teams and DoD stakeholders to ensure the application met compliance standards, supported mission-critical workflows, and remained audit-ready. This foundational experience sharpened my skills in secure systems development, cross-functional collaboration, and technical problem-solving in a highly regulated environment.

Results & Impact

• Maintained 99.4% system uptime across 20+ major releases for a secure, web-enabled DoD financial system
• Reduced report generation times by 28% through SQL optimization and backend performance tuning
• Achieved 93% first-pass reconciliation accuracy and contributed to multiple successful federal audits with zero major findings
• Developed and maintained 250+ test cases, reaching over 90% coverage across critical financial workflows
• Reduced backlog resolution times by approximately 22% by improving batch exception logic and automating QA validation steps
• Supported a mission-critical application that processed 750,000+ financial disbursements annually with high integrity and accountability

Application Architecture & Development
At DXC Technology, I was a core contributor to the development and modernization of a web-enabled disbursing application for the Department of Defense Finance and Accounting system. My work spanned the entire software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, system design, Oracle PL/SQL development, and cross-platform testing. I created and maintained modular packages, procedures, and reporting logic to ensure accurate and timely disbursement operations, including support for edge-case logic in military pay and fiscal reconciliation processes. I also participated in modernizing legacy Oracle Forms systems by introducing web-based interface enhancements using HTML, JavaScript, and XML — improving accessibility and long-term platform scalability.

Testing, Optimization & Compliance
I developed over 250 detailed test cases and scripts to validate system functionality and ensure that updates met stringent compliance standards under FISCAM and DoD audit protocols. My efforts supported QA teams in maintaining a 90%+ code coverage rate and contributed to consistent audit-readiness. I was also responsible for backend performance tuning, including SQL query optimization and database indexing to reduce load times, increase throughput, and eliminate data bottlenecks during peak processing windows. My documentation supported audit preparation, new developer onboarding, and end-user training initiatives across functional teams.

Collaboration & Technical Leadership
I collaborated closely with internal DXC teams, external contractors, and DoD finance stakeholders to define and deliver technical solutions aligned with fiscal policy and military pay regulations. I regularly led cross-functional task orders, balancing resource availability, system requirements, and stakeholder priorities. I translated non-technical operational needs into actionable development tasks and played a key role in ensuring successful rollout and adoption of new system functionality. My role required a strong understanding of enterprise-level financial architecture, data integrity standards, and secure development best practices.
