Hello, I'd like to welcome you to my first blog post!
I'm starting this blog to help share my knowledge about technology and software and how it can be specifically applied within a corrections setting.
My name is Mark Johnson, I am the Software Architect at Digital Solutions and Inmate Telephone, Inc. I am responsible for the overall software design, architecture, and deployment strategies utilized by DSI for our flagship jail management and inmate telephone systems, as well as our newer banking products.
I have 10 years of experience developing enterprise software, and currently hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master's degree in Computer Science from Millersville University of PA and Penn State University, respectively.
In my upcoming blog posts, I intend to touch on integration concerns, NIEM (the National Information Exchange Model), software deployment strategies, software lifecycles, and maybe even some of the behind the scenes aspects of software development.
I am encouraging an open dialog between myself and my readers, so if you have a question, or an idea for a topic, please let me know. I'll do my best to get it answered.
