I worked for the Department of Defense for the majority of my 11+ years in I.T. I have worked on several projects that were as small as 3 engineers to as big as 15+ Engineer. I started off as a Software Engineer, but have also been in projects that required me to wear multiple hats, such as DBA, QA Engineer, Configuration Manger, DevSecOps, Scrum master and even Solutions Architect. I got into DevSecOps when I started learning that a lot of my work that I was doing on the job could be automated with simple scripting languages. I quickly learned that the world of DevSecOps was something that allowed me to use every area of expertise. I then began managing every layer of the OSI stack while still writing scripts and programs with programming languages. After I learned that the projects I worked on reach a plateau of complexity, I quickly realized that Consultant is where I needed to be. I fell in love with the concept that the complexity is always going to be high from the start, and that I would get the opportunity to leverage different skill sets on every project that I work in.

Tackling Legacy Systems with Modernized Solutions

I would like to describe the misconception of some government agencies and their belief on how certain legacy systems often land in the hands of leaders who believe modernizing the application and converting their monolithic solution to a microservice application will solve all their problems. I'd like to take a minute to explain how there are some key points to consider before accepting such difficult challenges and how each of these points can often make or break the success of that project. I'd like to also take a minute to explain how a pipeline with multiple stages can present efficiency to the project, and elaborate more on the concept of evaluating where on the scale between "convenient vs secure" the project should be.
