Manager of the Application Services teams, responsible for the front and back-end of the Artemis Launch Control System propelling NASA's SLS rockets from Kennedy to the Moon & Mars!

Lead 20 person team through the prototyping, development, and delivery life cycle of novel PLC emulation software, wrapping a consumer product to meet NASA requirements.Managed team members and resources, schedule, requirement generation, planning for verification/validation of deliverables, and engineering design of product. Presented demos and technical documents, and worked concurrence with product stakeholders

Lead three person team in designing C++ function libraries and tests to provide full functionality of Allen-Bradley built-in PLC libraries including CIP networking.Rapidly developed and presented technical solution for replacing NASA End-of-Life PLC simulation tool with consumer technology augmented with custom code; successfully obtained $150,000 grant for further development, and eventual $1.2 million budget.Developed PASCAL-style PLC Structured Text functions, Consumer Industrial Protocol (CIP) networking instructions and tests, ANTLR syntax parser, and XSLT parsers as part of prototype effort.

Worked with Java, OpenCV, Sikuli, and Robot Framework to automate Graphical User Interface (GUI) software testing for the Launch Control System (LCS).Modified open-source Java library to act as a prototype for NASA automated GUI testing framework; work was later accepted and permanently formed into the NASA automated test team.Worked on Arduino object detection software for “Swarmie” insect robots and physical repair as part of NASA Swampworks team.

Worked with a client to develop an entirely custom VR music visualizer/hangout space in Unity capable of procedural terrain generation, environmental transitions, runtime music visualization, and tuned to meet performance specifications limited by phone hardware, but capable of running multi-platform.See video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qW1HsEHUZs

Wrote Python software to replace legacy Fortran code involved in planning HAM radio contacts with astronauts and the digital repeater onboard the ISS.Picture link to final poster presentation (PDF link below): https://goo.gl/photos/isK9ZezFXTuFwFGb6
