The network analysis module of the Unified Cymtec Appliance Manager uses a MySQL backend.

This required extensive index tuning and database optimizations. I have also developed dozens of LAMP applications.

Cymtec Systems Inc
Senior Application Architect / Team Lead
Cymtec Systems, Inc - St. Louis, MO
-
www.cymtec.com
Cymtec Systems, Inc is a company which develops enterprise-level network security appliances. I lead the team responsible for the management software for Cymtec Sentry and Cymtec Scout, as well as several internal supporting applications.
PRODUCTS & TECHNOLOGIES
Cymtec Systems Sentry Management Console
- I am the lead developer on a commercial Intrusion Prevention management application. The application is designed to provide the centralized management of the Sentry appliances. The application consists of an user interface (IIS, ASP.NET(C#), MSSQL, ASP.NET AJAX), and a management service (.NET service(C#), MSSQL). In addition, an update server (IIS, SSL, ASP.NET(C#), MSSQL) was developed to manage the distribution of threat signature databases and sensor software update.
Cymtec Systems Scout UI
- The Cymtec Scout UI is a commercial managed user interface used by enterprise clients for viewing and managing Scout Intrusion Detection sensors. The interface has been developed using the ExtJS JavaScript library for the front-end. The back-end is comprised of a Zeus web server, PHP to handle the business logic, and an Oracle 10g database.
Universal Cymtec Appliance Manager
- The Universal Cymtec Appliance Manager is an application which runs on Cymtec sensors. It allows users to configure the appliance and view real time resource usage. It also allows users to capture the packets going through the sensors and create summary reports based on the data captured. The application architecture allows it to run on all Cymtec sensors regardless of the hardware or software through the use of configuration files. Technologies used are Linux, PHP, lighttpd, and Javascript.
Cymtec Systems Operations Portal -
The operations portal is a CRM/ERP application designed to manage client and partner information, manage inventory, track orders and deployments. It consists of an ASP.NET(C#) website running on IIS, and a MSSQL database.
Cymtec Sentry Standalone Management UI -
The standalone version of the Sentry Management Console is designed to run on the Sentry sensor. This was designed for customers who have a small number of sensors and do not need a centralized management console. The application is designed using the ExtJS framework for the UI, PHP for the controller scripts, and MySQL for the database.
Other Experience
Network Administration
I worked and studied in network administration before transistioning into development.
Technical Support
I help provide 3rd teir support for Cymtec Systems. I have also work in a support desk role with AT&T while in college.
