Introduction: Mr. Murray is a perfect candidate for your open job(s). Mr. Murray has an active DoD TOP SECRET/SCI (Refreshed Mar 2009) and has several years experience working system engineering processes within Special Access Programs in DoD. He has always been considered in the top peers during his employment within DoD. He graduated in the top quarter of his Clemson University Electrical Engineering class with a 3.0 GPA within his field. He attained over 800 on his Scholastic Aptitude Test during his junior year. He began his DoD career at a GS level 7 or equivalent of a Masters degree. He was promoted by special dispensation by the government during pay freezes, further indicating his top performance and excellence in his Civil Service work. Later he graduated from Ga Tech with a 3.4 GPA Masters degree in Information and Computer Science. He has an excellent understanding and balance of hardware, software, interface control, documentation, integration, and test activities. Mr. Murray was hired by Booz Allen and Hamilton (BAH) consultants, also known for hiring only the nation's top scientists, engineers and business professionals. Mr. Murray has always maintained cognizance of cuttingedge and breakthrough technologies, especially nano technology, with both paid and free leading R&D publications. Mr. Murray has demonstrated a very creative mind and has improved the way things were done in his previous positions, increasing efficiency and quality of many products in daily work. His first professional assignment was to develop a government owned first-article automated, computerized, functional test measurement and reporting system. He used object oriented design (OOD) before it was ever published by others. He had a bank of stimulus equipment, bank of measurement equipment, and a routing switch between them, all computer controlled. He developed a specialized programming control language based on conversational basic language (slow, interpretive by line) that when the program was complete without syntax/number range errors, it was then compiled through FORTRAN and executed. The result was very easy test program development by inexperienced users, with the real-time embedded computer performance of optimally compiled programs. Mr. Murray has always been process oriented with focus on the day-by-day activities with concern of how can the processes be improved. Another example of his creativity effecting productivity was his assignment to assume the project metrics reported to program management of a large Army battle simulation program. Previous peer was using over 4 hours per week to collect, compile, and report results monthly. Mr. Murray proposed a change to metrics process that saved over 75% processing time; (12 man-hours per month) with equivalent detail and improved quality. In another case he was assigned to develop metrics to report productivity and utility of an enclosed RF radar hardware-in-the-loop test range. He defined the set of performance parameters, granularity of data, frequency of collection, and reporting process that was adopted as the baseline standard for other test labs in the company. His results clearly showed where resources needed to be applied to maintain or increase throughput. Mr. Murray is a very detailed person with a gift of looking beyond the immediate decision space to examine the consequences of the actions at hand, evaluate alternatives and options, and foresee roadblocks that may result by selecting certain current options. He is known to look at a situation from the point of view, What is not obvious to the casual observer? He is known for seeing details often missed by others. Mr. Murrays superior performance, work ethic, and technical excellence have earned him several outstanding awards, including Whos Who in America, plus large performance bonuses (>$10K/yr) for five consecutive years in Missile Defense Agency. Mr. Murrays specialty is solving difficult, complex, challenging problems where there is no known solution, whether it is alone, or leading a small team of subject matter experts or specialists like him. Mr. Murray is an excellent presenter and organizer of technical conferences, symposia, and technical interchange
