Professional Experience

 

Lockheed Martin

Senior Software Design Engineer, Secret clearance

 

  • Involved in agent-based and scenario modeling to analyze battlespace troop and weapon dispersement. Supported the research, development, and evaluation of scenario models that will quantify the operational value of Army, Navy, and Air Force Transformation products, guided projectiles, and close air support weapons.

 

  • Software application developer charged with deriving and implementing mathematical algorithms for an Informational Warfare Mission Planning, Targeting, and Analysis Application

 

 

Senior Design Engineer,

Fable Systems, Air Force Scientific Technical Support Contract, Top Secret/EBI clearance

 

  • Developed software to gather, analyze, and manipulate image data from various optical mount passive sensors including near, medium, and far infrared and CCD arrays.  Designed software to analyze the engine plumes and hard bodies for various missiles and to enhance images of spacecraft including the shuttle in orbit and various satellites. Wrote real-time applications which control optical mount pointing and tracking.  Wrote post test analysis software for translation of coordinate systems between mount (angle-angle-range) and sensor focal plane.

 

  • Was awarded a letter of accommodation from the Air Force for data analysis done in relation to an investigation into the causes of a midair explosion of a jet using chase plane cabin video data.  Work included establishing chronology of events leading up to the explosion and analysis for hot spots at the time of explosion.

 

 

Software Design Engineer

McDonnell Douglas, Secret clearance

 

  • Developed software to control various plant Robotics Systems. Helped configure and maintain communications software between various computer platforms and the Robots.  Awarded the Teammates of Distinction Award.

 

 

Software Design Engineer

Martin Aerospace, Secret clearance

 

  • Member of the "Infrared Guidance High Value Target Imagery Project" team. During this project our team developed computational techniques to transform polar formatted image data into Cartesian formatted image data.  Received a letter of commendation for conversion of analog polar coordinate image data to digital raster format using gimbal attitude data.

 

  • Developed and enhanced graphics for various war game applications.
