About Frank Branker and the Houses for Sale Ottawa Website
I’m working to maintain this lead generation website from my home office at 76 Ryeburn Drive in Ottawa, aiming to bring more leads into my wife, Sandi Branker’s, real estate business.
My work involves creating and optimizing each market page organically to ensure maximum online visibility for each page. – This process is known as search engine optimization (SEO).

My Work History is in Internet Technology.
Canadian Embassy, Washington, D.C.
I was part of the Canadian Embassy’s Public Affairs team from 2006 to 2011, where I held an integral role as a Web, e-Publications, and Technology Administrator.
My work at that department included developing content and design work for the primary Embassy website (can-am.gc.ca/washington), the Connect2Canada website (connect2canada.com), and the Department of National Defence outreach website in the U.S. (CanadianAlly.com).
My work included solving website coding issues and archiving problems. Moreover, I was the primary point of contact for my department’s multimedia equipment. This knowledge was essential for our many press conferences, official conference calls, and other Embassy briefings.
——–
From 29 August 2011 to 31 October 2013. I was employed by the Canadian Defence Liaison Staff in Washington (CDLS(W)) as a member of the Information Systems (IS) team.
My duties included assisting in the day-to-day operations of the I.S. and Helpdesk section, specifically in client, website, and BlackBerry administration. I also provided basic first and second-line IT desktop support for CDLS(W) staff and remote clients.
One of my primary tasks was serving as the CDLS(W) subject matter expert (SME) on the VCDS group-developed website content management system, known as the Government Publishing System (GPS).
My role was instrumental in providing successful administrative support to over 400 service members deployed at various locations throughout the United States. This support was delivered via an online virtual central registry concept based on GPS web services. It is made available on both the DWAN (Intranet) and our CDLS(W) External Portal (Internet).
Another aspect of my role as the SME of the GPS system is to provide training to the content providers on the proper use of the tool and to ensure that they adhere to the Common Look and Feel (CLF) requirements as dictated by Treasury Board regulations.
Additionally, I was involved in configuring and deploying workstation hardware and software, as well as setting up and confirming the connectivity of secure and non-secure VTC systems. Additionally, I supported the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) account and deployed over 60 secure communication devices.
Industrial Security Sector (ISS)
I returned to Ottawa in November 2013. PWGSC ISS Outreach Division contracted me as a Casual employee web-coordinating officer from March to August 2014. The PWGSC Industrial Security Sector (ISS) Outreach Division was tasked to update the Industrial Security Sector’s website content to meet the guidelines of the Treasury Board Secretariat’s accessibility and usability standards.
