  • Proficiency in RDBMS, specifically PostgreSQL (3+ years), and strong skills in XML, HTML, and Java (7+ years) with JDBC (3+ years).
  • Experience with application servers (Tomcat 6 or higher) and web technologies (JSPs/Servlets/JavaScript 5+ years).
  • Expertise in scripting languages (e.g., TCL) and in programming with C/C++ with embedded SQL (7+ years).
  • Familiarity with software version control systems (e.g., Apache Subversion).
  • Knowledge of fingerprint data formats (ANSI/NIST-CSL 1-1993 or later) and FBI transmission specifications (EFTS/EBTS).
  • Experience with real-time network-based interfaces (e.g., Nlets, FBI III, AFIS systems).
