Senior Systems & Security Architect

Mark Le Vea

Mark has been in the computer filed since 1980 when he worked for Kodak as a designer utilizing Computer Aided Design. Mark automated this system to produce 40 hours of work in 15 minutes. In 1990 Mark worked at the Army's Artificial Intelligence Center at the Pentagon where he was first exposed to "Object Oriented" technology and managed the Center's I.T. purchasing. From there he went to rescue a $100M DARPA project (Center for Seismic Studies) from implosion. The original design was not scale-able and Mark re-designed the site and included a two tiered firewall system. The prototype was successful and was fielded in Vienna Austria to monitor nuclear events via seismic activity.

Mark then went to Bell Atlantic where he designed and built an infrastructure to support Bell's web site R&D, integration testing and pre-production testing. Mark led the Intrusion Dection effort at IRS Martinsburg during the Y2K timeframe and spent time at the world's largest ISP, Uunet.

Next came the opportunity to design and build the first "institutional style" school based on the Internet, a dream of Scott McNeally, Larry Ellison and Bill Bennet. Mark designed the entire production facility and personally brought the infrastructure on-line. Now anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can get a first rate education no matter where they are.

Lately Mark has been doing Systems & Architecture work for the General Services Administration and the Department of Treasury where he found a national security disaster waiting to happen. Mark designed a firewall system to keep Secret Service personnel information safe from prying eyes.
