Researching the merging of Business, Technology & Ethics
Education
A little more, but not quite a true Curriculum Vitae:
Master of Information Technology
Information Security Certification (Conferred) Hood College
STARTED: Summer, 2010
Spring, 2012 Applied Database Concepts
Independent Study – Object Oriented Methods (Application of Personality Profiling Algorithm)
Fall, 2011 Information Assurance and Risk Management
Summer (2), 2011
Personality Profiling within the domain of Information Technology (Continuing Research)
Summer (1), 2011 Network and Internet Security
Network Security Certificate Completion
Personality Profiling within the domain of Information Technology (Continuing Research)
Spring, 2011 Information Systems Security
Elements of Computer Programming
This semester consists of only 2 classes while I continue researching my Thesis. I limited my class load because I became a father on January 3rd and chose to spend more time with my new family. I’ve also formed a group to take part in the DC3 Forensic Challenge outside of school. I’m continuing to develop the Internet properties I have in progress, but have limited the number to less than 20 instead of 100 (now 5).
Research Underway or Completed:
1. Personality Profiling (Underway)
Fall, 2010 Computer Forensics
Computing Hardware and Software Systems
Systems Engineering and Integration
Telecommunications and Networking
This semester consists of 4 graduate level courses. I’ll post the topics for papers and any mentionable topics here as well as in my blog. At the end of Summer II, I launched txtbk.co which is a free textbook exchange, sale, or share website (now closed, I didn’t like the name that much). It is part of my 100 Sites in 1 Year project which is my attempt to launch 100 websites with products or services attached.
Summer II, 2010 Security Policies, Ethics and Law
This semester consisted of a policy class that allowed me to write about the security policy of a fictional company. I wrote over 140 policies spanning a broad range of categories such as physical access to buildings and devices (I chose biometrics and other physical deterrents). Policy was based on various levels of risk attributed to the criticality of an asset (be it hardware, software, IP, etc). That criticality was further based on its effect on operations if it failed, cost of replacement or reuptake of operations, and so on. I introduced the concept of “Cradle-to-Grave” ownership of intellectual property which implies a person assigned to maintain an asset must maintain it indefinitely, or until it is transferred through authorized methods. I also introduced the idea of a man-in-the-middle method of access where an Information Security Officer is an additional party in any asset transfer, regardless of location.
Summer I, 2010 Contemporary Issues in Information Technology
I will attempt to frame my work within the bounds of Business, Technology & Ethics. I am also very interested in Internet Anthropology. Presented: MobWatch.com (now Mobble.com). Having never written a business model for MobWatch and only having a rough idea of where I wanted the project to go… a reputation manager; the team set out to describe its IS and IT framework. Since it is part of a business plan, A lot of options were found during the discussions and research. Most of the opportunities were common sense, but one sounds very intriguing. More on that later. The site can scale very easily with its current infrastructure in place, I’m now looking for programmers who are interested in developing the site. Interested? If you want to participate in the site, log in.
Master of Business Administration Marketing (Concentration) Hood College
Completed: December, 2009
I’ve written papers on business, government policy & product creation, researched a new game that can assist in maximizing profits & quality of any shipping company, and a complete strategic analysis of Apple, Inc. I started the program in Summer 2008, and completed it in December 2009.
Bachelor of Science Business Administration (Major) Strategic & Entrepreneurial Management (Minor) University of Maryland University College Completed: May, 2008
6 classes/semester + Summer, forced to take 2 classes my first semester. I would have started sooner, but there were complications with the transfer, I needed my FCC transcripts audited quickly.
Associate of Arts
Frederick Community College Business Administration (Major)
Completed: August, 2006
While attending FCC, I researched a process to utilize mitochondria as means to power nanomachines. The basic research showed it theoretically possible. Since continuing on to UMUC and HOOD College, I’ve discovered a patent application to utilize Mitochondria as a power source.
