MITRE values it's people as it's number one asset and puts an emphasis on shared responsibility for growth, partnership with the government, collaboration within and without, and the ability to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Over the course of six months with MITRE I worked on a number of different projects. The two main projects that I was assigned dealt with collaboration within a work environment both traditional collaboration and also impromptu collaboration. The team of eight interns that I was working closely with durring this time were also assigned to the impromptu collaboration piece and all of us came up with a group response to the problem we were faced with. Durring the last two months of my time at MITRE three of the initial team of eight broke off to pursue a technical approach that eventually lead to a web application that we delivered in October.
Some of the major job responsibilities that I had while working for Frontier Exploration Services within the IT organization at MITRE include: software development, technology assessment and research, ideation, and providing innovative approaches and solutions for modern business problems. The major software development projects that I was involved in mostly consisted of PHP, HTML, and JavaScript. Some of the smaller more research based projects consisted of Java and Java Servlet Technology.

Co-op Software Developer
Bytronics Inc., Fairport, New York
Employment: March 3rd - August 29th 2008
Since their founding in 1988, Bytronics has been offering one of the largest online field force dispatch and tracking system in the utility industry, known as DigTrack. Their expertise lies in their ability to utilize state of the art technologies and tools coupled with a "can do" attitude. One of the major advantages of DigTrack over other utility tracking systems avaliable today is that Bytronics will listen to their customer's ideas and requirements and provide systems that seamlessly integrate into their operating environment. All systems that they develop or customize seek to maximize sutomation, quality, and return on investment.
During my co-op experience here I directly communicated with utility companies to increase their productivity while using the DigTrack web interface. This included the creation of new custom automation modules and new, custom features for these utility companies. I worked alongside a team of 5 software developers to enhance and implement new features to a web interfaced utility ticket management application which is used nationwide. These experiences helped to introduce me to the use of the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) environment and the implementation of Java Database Connectivity drivers (JDBC). After I got comfortable with the environment and currently implemented modules I was allocated a couple of individual projects for two of the largest clients using the DigTrack system. Having these individual projects helped me to practice requirements gathering straight from the client. Another important skill that these projects challanged were my product demonstration skills. Since these modules were solely developed by me, I was also in charge of showing the features of these modules to our clients and eventually implement them into their current account.
