Develops internal configuration standards and trains others to use CM tools as required. * Tracks and controls change to hardware, software, and documentation throughout the product lifecycle. * Collaborates with project management and development teams to ensure proper change processes. * Coordinates, records, and documents activities of the Configuration control Board. * Implements, manages, and maintains the customer's CM database. * Conducts audits to ensure compliance with CM policies. * Provides status reports of all ongoing CM activities to the customer and management. * Develops and maintains CM tools and support configuration identification, control, reporting, release, and delivery of products and systems. * Exercises creative thinking and ideation to advance business performance and deliver innovative, flexible, integrated solutions to meet customer and changing business needs. * Stays current on CM processes to provide input for selection and identification of hardware and software configuration end items that meet customer standards. * Serves as SCRUM Master in an Agile development environment. * Obtained Authorization to Operate (ATO) for Risk Management Framework Security package for a client software enclave to allow the client to continue to serve its customers while migrating to a new hosting environment. * Performed Information Assurance for client on multiple projects simultaneously by gathering and providing necessary information to create the security package for Authorizing Official review and approval. * Performed Security Technical Installation Guide (STIG) evaluations for software implementation to ensure vulnerabilities are mitigated and don’t allow a way for adversaries to attack the applications. * Created a STIG tracker to monitor progress on mitigating numerous software application vulnerabilities. This allowed management to evaluate progress of mitigating vulnerabilities across all applications. * Created a STIG Comparison tool to determine if similar answers to STIGs exist across multiple applications. This tool allowed applications to be consistent in their answers to remediate STIGs and reduce time in addressing STIGs, if another team already had a solution. * Created a tool to assist developers in addressing STIGs by focusing on consolidated data from multiple sources (scans and STIG checklists) that can be easily filtered. Developers used this tool to review code and determine if a specific vulnerability was fully resolved. * Updated the Test Result Export and Implementation Plan files to create the System Security Plan and assist in documenting compliance of NIST controls. The Test Results and Implementation Plan are used to determine if vulnerabilities were addressed and to build the security package for review and approval. * Met with multiple developer teams to discuss and assist in mitigating hurdles by providing an overarching view of progress and shared solutions on multiple applications. * Led the Information Assurance (IA) weekly status meetings to provide Project Leads with updates on the progress accomplished in meeting the IA Risk Management Framework (RMF) goals. * Served as the JIRA Administrator on a single project, which creates and tracks the project status using a Kanban board and Plans to report progress to upper management. * Created Plan of Action and Mitigation (POAM) tracker to ensure all applications have addressed open POAMs before determining NIST control requirements have been resolved.
