  In support of the development of the comprehensive electronic permit
  system (ePermits) for the United States Department of Agriculture
  Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Mr. Mapes performed
  business process modeling using Oracle Designer 6i, authored the
  ePermits application security plan, and provided logistical support
  for deliverables and client meetings.
  
  Mission Oriented Systems Engineering Support (MOSES) Program,
  SAIC SDC, Senior Systems Analyst/Software Engineer, January
  1993-March 2003. Developed the metadata interface and content
  to support the rollout of the 2000 census demographic data in
  the Envirofacts warehouse and assisting in the testing of data
  for the rollout of new mapping data for Window To My Environment
  (WME). Mr. Mapes has also revised the application security plan
  for WME and Enviromapper for NYC Response (9/11) (EM/NYC), a suite
  web-based tools to support the public (WME) and New York City
  (EM/NYC) in creating and displaying maps with integrated
  environmental data. He also wrote the application security plan
  for the E-Regulations Comments (EREG) application, a web-based
  product that supports the public in reviewing and commenting upon
  proposed federal regulations.
  
  Mr. Mapes has also worked on the requirements, security planning,
  design, development, and population of the EPAs Facility Registry
  System (FRS). FRS, a Web-Based application, is the EPAs central
  repository for authoritative Facility-Site information for place
  based environmental regulation. FRS has been/is being implemented
  using the Oracle 8.1.7.4 RDBMS and Oracle PL/SQL. Mr. Mapes also
  worked on the preliminary requirements analysis, design and
  development of the EPA's Facility Identification Initiative (FII).
  FII was an Oracle 8 RDBMS replacement for the mainframe Facility
  Index System (FINDS) that integrated EPA tracked Facilities across
  various EPA environmental program systems. FII expanded on FINDS
  by allowing for the tracking of entities other than facilities,
  such as CERCLIS (Super Fund) Sites, smoke stacks, and out-flow
  pipes. FII allowed various entities to be related to each other
  (e.g., a Facility may have a smoke stack, and a hazardous waste
  dump), and supported the implementation of various emerging EPA
  agency-wide DP/IS standards. FII allowed EPA users to maintain
  and query the system via a graphical user interface supporting
  both manual and automated updates, and provide the general public
  with access via the Internet's world-wide-web. FRS replaced FII
  in June of 20002.
  
  Mr. Mapes was also a contributing member of the Envirofacts
  Information Warehouse Initiative (EIWE) team in support of EPA's
  response to the 9/11/2001 attacks. Mr. Mapes provided data
  conversion problem solving support during the initial acquisition
  of air monitoring data from the World Trade Center and wrote
  software to maintain the lookup tables that support this effort.
  
  Mr. Mapes took over responsibility for the Envirofacts monthly
  activity report that detailed the resources (in terms of mainframe
  CPU time, disk storage capacity and manpower) used each month to
  maintain the national version of the Envirofacts database. During
  this time he also assumed responsibility for the maintenance of
  the EPA Region 1 version of Envirofacts, creating an update tape
  and instructions document for each monthly update.
  
  Mr. Mapes has worked on the continued development and support of
  EPA's Envirofacts data warehouse. Envirofacts is an Oracle 8
  implementation, under UNIX, of many major EPA systems for public
  access. Mr. Mapes has aided in the development of an automated
  process for use in the monthly updating of Envirofacts in both its
  national and EPA regional configurations. This tool is written
  in Pro-C with embedded SQL. Mr. Mapes has also worked on the
  analysis and design for the inclusion of an additional EPA database
  system within Envirofacts. This work required the use of the EPA
  IBM mainframe under TSO/ISPF to access data in an Ada Base
  application using JCL and Natural code. During this time Mr. Mapes
  also worked with senior management on the analysis and planning of
  a software metrics program to support SDC software process
  improvement efforts under the Software Engineering Institute's
  Capability Maturity Model.
  
  Also as a member of the MOSES/SDC team, Mr. Mapes assisted in
  the database design and software design and coding of the Risk
  Assessment Database System (RADS). The RADS supports the EPA
  Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR)/Hazardous Site
  Evaluation Division (HSED)/Toxics Integration Branch (TIB) in
  quality assurance reviews, the examination and identification of
  trends, modification and development of guidance, and the
  identification of policy needs. It will provide an efficient
  means of data gathering for timely public communications, reports,
  or testimony. The RADS was implemented using Computer Associates
  Clipper 5.01a/5.2d with the SofDesign International Inc. library
  ProVision Windows to support an graphical user interface (GUI)
  and pseudo object oriented programming approach. The RADS
  consists of a data entry component with 30 data entry screens and
  a reporting component with 40 or more reports. In addition to the
  RADS system software, major deliverables for this project included
  the database design, data collection forms, and a complex automated
  data conversion from the legacy Site Information File (SIF) system.
  Additionally, Mr. Mapes, working with another programmer,
  developed an ad hoc querying and reporting module for the RADS.
  
  While at the SDC, Mr. Mapes has also done some code analysis on
  FoxPro code for the WastLan project, and provided programming
  and data analysis support to the Windows on Waste/Data Repository
  Database (WOW/DRD) system. In December 1994 Mr. Mapes took
  "Database Administration for ORACLE 6" and "Database Performance
  Tuning for ORACLE 6" classes in preparation for integration of
  RADS into EPA's CERCLIS-3 system, currently under development.
  
  National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute/Information Systems
  Branch (NHLBI/ISB), Programmer/Analyst, October 1991-January
  1993. Mr. Mapes was a member of GSC's on-site systems and
  programming support team at the NHLBI/ISB. While at NHLBI/ISB,
  Mr. Mapes worked on the design, coding, development, and
  implementation of several PC-based database systems written
  in Clipper (Summer '87 and 5.01). The first of these was an
  adaptation of the mainframe National Programs System for data
  entry and reporting of the distribution of NHLBI funded grants
  and contracts across various national program areas (i.e.,
  Arteriosclerosis, AIDS, or Lung Diseases).
  
  The second system Mr. Mapes worked on for NHLBI/ISB was the
  Trans-NIH Basic, Applied and Development Grants and Contracts
  system. This system allows NHLBI management to track the allocation
  of funds across different types of research contracts and grants.
  In the development of this system, Mr. Mapes did the initial design
  and coding and then supervised another programmer in the completion
  of the system.
  
  Finally, Mr. Mapes took over the development of the NHLBI Grants
  Award System (GAS). The GAS system is a complex data entry and
  reporting system that allows NHLBI Grant Specialists to enter the
  data required to create and process a grant. Mr. Mapes was the
  lead programmer in support of this development effort and was
  responsible for assigning tasks to two other programmers.
  
  All of these systems operate in a multi-user Local Area Network
  environment (3-Com: 3 Share and 3 Open). Also, in support of the
  development of the above systems Mr. Mapes wrote and modified
  IBM-JCL, WYLBUR and SAS programs to extract data from or send
  updates to various NIH Division of Computer Research and Training
  (DCRT) mainframe systems (including IMPAC). In support of this
  Mr. Mapes used (at various times) Kermit, ProCom Plus and TCP/IP to
  provide access to the DCRT system for programming and data file
  transfers.
  
  Mr. Mapes also assumed the management and administration
  responsibilities for NHLBI/ISB's two network servers for a period of
  about seven months when an NIH/DHHS hiring freeze caused a staffing
  shortfall at ISB. His duties included adding and deleting users,
  setting and adjusting access rights, tracking and adjusting server
  disk space and usage, tuning workstation and server setup parameters,
  and maintaining the ISB network application menu. One of ISB's
  3Com servers used 3Com/3 Share network software and was administered
  using 3 Share software through MS-DOS, and the other server used
  3Com/3 Open network software and was administered using 3 Open
  software running under IBM OS/2.
  
  Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA),
  Programmer - Programmer/Analyst. March 1989-September-1991.
  Mr. Mapes worked primarily, on the development of a PC-based
  Non-Expendable Control of Property (NECOP) system to replace the
  antiquated mainframe system for the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and
  Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA). Mr. Mapes was the lead
  programmer on this project. His responsibilities included
  meeting with clients to discuss system requirements and demonstrate
  prototypes, database design, program documentation, design
  and coding, and training of users. Mr. Mapes also trained and
  supervised other programmers on this project. The NECOP system
  operates on a Novelle NetWare Local Area Network (LAN) with the
  capability to accept off-site users who dial into the LAN via modem.
  
  Mr. Mapes converted a prototype version of the PC-based ADAMHA
  Contracts Information System (PC-ACIS) from Paradox to Clipper.
  Also, he was peripherally involved in programming for the National
  Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease's Employee Performance
  Management System.
  
  Additionally, Mr. Mapes assisted in the installation and extension
  of the LAN Thin-Net cabling at GSC corporate headquarters.
