Inaugural software engineer of startup. Use concepts from chief scientist and turn them into robust software systems. Divide up tasks and mentor engineers. Created a pragmatic system of coding standards, peer reviews, and file versioning for short and long term productivity. • Themistocles: Architect of flagship game theory engine that efficiently searches future state possibilities using a probabilistic depth first search, modeling stochastic outcomes, and parallel player moves, differing from traditional game constructs. Added a genetic algorithm to breed populations of potential adversaries and measure their danger to a protected system. Built a Java Swing GUI for client and server interfaces that communicate using Java RMI and ActiveMQ. Tailored for cyber security and space domains winning over $4m in competitive contracts with DARPA, NSA, Air Force Research Labs, and private Aerospace companies.• Adaptive Metadata Integrity Analysis: Implemented a document pedigree management to make sure clearance levels are never violated using JBoss, JEE JSP/Servlets/Enterprise Beans, SOAP Web Services, XML Encryption and a MySQL backend.• Mission Centric Command & Control: Modernized a UAV for cadets at the Air Force Academy by writing a Java translator to convert legacy flight plan data into KML which fed real time updates viewable in Google Earth.• Developed a near real-time cyber forensics system for DARPA using critical clues in cyber event patterns and social interactions within them. Built a Java Swing UI to visualize cyber-sociological landscape in a graph• Implemented a distributed app for AFRL that enforces local policy with a custom language and context free grammar with a compiler (Lexer, Parser and Java Code Generator). Built mobile Java agents on top of the open source FreePastry peer-to-peer framework to avoid the pitfalls of a single centralized server system providing high availability and real time data.
