Hi, I'm Johan McGwire!

Coinbase enabled me to delve fully into software development for the first time. I was able to construct multiple projects leveraging AWS to deploy server-full and server-less projects written in Golang to support many teams across the organization. All the while up leveling my fellow IT members by helping them design their projects with a code first mentality.

• Built a macOS EC2 instance deployment pipeline for AutoPkg and retail application deployments
• Enabled corporate reports with python Airflow ETLs for Jamf, Google, Okta, Jira, and Duo
• Prototyped NanoMDM for device management with MongoDB open source contributions
• Mentored IT members on converting their project requirements to implementable projects
• Built a platform for terraform codification and application along with a Jamf terraform provider
• Converted many human service desk processes to customer request-able automations
• Delivered many golang projects, on server-full and server-less infra to complete various tasks

Working for Leidos is the second opportunity to work for a US government contractor. Utilizing the knowledge from Battelle and working with a great macOS engineering team we were able to conduct a large scale device management modernization. This included a full migration to user driven deployments of their own new macOS devices in contrast to the established process of imaging a device at a corporate office.

• Developed custom NoMAD Login code to allow for a seamless user transition from mobile accounts
• Created single network service enforcement subsystem to satisfy NIST split tunneling/dual homing requirements
• Created Privilege Rights Management subsystem and workflow to leverage existing account infrastructure and Jamf in a local account macOS environment while in accordance with NIST regulations
• Overhauled machine provisioning and software installation workflow to utilize Jamf policies to standardize and utilize my Jamf Enrollment Kickstart workflow
• Created new communication strategy and application to utilize the macOS notification center for customized corporate notifications
• Documented traditional and new enrollment methodologies with high quality custom videos
• Wrote knowledge base articles to smooth application deployments and educate customers on new functionalities
• Experimented with proof of concept implementations of application blacklisting and whitelisting with Google Santa and multiple central managment servers

Denison University is my first major role as the lead technical individual responsible for all endpoints at an organization. In this role I served as the primary and only tier 3 and infrastructure specialist for both the Windows and MacOS platforms at the university. During my time at the university so far I managed to accomplish the following major achievements:

• Converted the Windows imaging process from classic monolithic imaging to a provisioning package and management agent based workflow
• Refactored all Jamf policies to standardize and utilize my Jamf Enrollment Kickstart workflow
• Enabled a single source of truth for all endpoint software deployment information and scoping for both the Windows and MacOS platforms
• Written many API scripts to enable the standardization of information between Web Help Desk, Jamf, and ZCM
• Performed many workflow enhancements to improve both the IT endpoint configuration and end user deployment experience
• Reconstructed the Windows Update Services infrastructure environment

• Serve as the primary administrator for ZenWorks Configuration Management (Windows)
• Serve as the primary administrator for Jamf (MacOS)
• Evaluate and prioritize all endpoint configuration projects
• Contribute to student employees daily planning and project priorities
• Provide endpoint technical insight to other IT projects

As an IT Coordinator I joined Battelle's team as a full-time employee. With the new position I extended my reach into the Windows realm of Battelle and assumed the responsibility of serving as the backup SCCM administrator for all workstations. Some of my extended responsibilities are listed below:

• Maintain and manage Battelle’s external and internal Jamf infrastructure
• Construct and maintain SCCM deployments of internal applications
• Serve as the backup SCCM administrator for Battelle and primary for all Apple systems
• Administer Active Directory and maintain workstation Group Policy configurations
• Experimented with Windows AutoPilot in both user and machine driven scenarios
• Administer Intune and review all possible endpoint management integrations into Azure
• Continued to build upon all constructed systems and responsibilities from my internship

Battelle Memorial Institute was my first experience in the corporate side of Information Technology. During this time I have been exposed to many different technologies as well have worked on many different projects. Some of these projects are listed below:

• Updated the VBScript login script to give updated real-time user login data
• Analyzed old group policies and crafted updated, cleaner domain wide group polices that would not interfere with the Windows 10 roll-out
• Configured Window 7 Upgrade analytics and corporate telemetry for the entire domain
• Wrote PowerShell script with Azure user and group queries to assign and recover Microsoft Office licenses based on that users group memberships
• Wrote PowerShell based script to configure YubiKeys (smart-cards) for both Mac and Windows with domain user certificates for Multi-factor Authentication
• Appraised multiple macOS management services and developed requirements to do so
• Currently in the process of implementing multi-layered macOS management levels through Jamf to support Macs for the entire enterprise

• Configured 802.1X Computer domain membership based networking
• Re-configured 802.1X NPS server policies to enable Mac connectivity
• Implemented touch-less Mac deployment utilizing Apples DEP program and Jamf
• Developed multiple access and security levels to fulfill DFARS requirements on Mac
• Started from scratch on an macOS self service application delivery inventory
• Developed 150+ Jamf policies to properly configure Macs and provide full self-service functionality
• Developing scripts to enable the user to complete basic and routine administrator tasks via self-service
• Talking with current unsupported Mac users to gather input on how to better improve the program
