• Support NASA Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) program, provide assurance on spacecraft flight software through various requirement, code implementation, and test analyses. Projects included: Europa, Mars.
• Led JWST Independent Test team, coordinated with NASA internal test center on JWST software model development. Worked with both customer and hardware developer on test and scenario identification in support of project.
• Developed a simulation framework with reusable scripting method that transforms system use cases into executable inputs, enabling a more realistic simulation model. This method has become a new demonstrated technique.

Falls Church, VA, US

• Assisted Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite program requirements verification and sell-off. Contributed to the successful SV1 payload activation
• Reviewed and analyzed phase array requirements for B-2 Bomber EHF Antenna program, ensuring components and integrated performance were within specification.
• Led Mission Utility Analysis tool integration, generating metrics in support of AEHF Capability Insertion Program (CIP) SatCom architecture trade study which were used to improve new business planning and capturing.

Chantilly, VA, US

• Served as lead engineer for the integration of an operational simulator with a network testbed; this customized capability was used to generate operationally-relevant traffic and scenario data for system risk reduction.
• Contributed strategy and storyboard development for the successful capture of $200M Air Force SMC Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Wing SE&I contract.
• Performed mission level simulation by integrating both government-owned and commercially-available tools in support of requirements development and system integration for the Transformational Satellite Communication.
• Deployed, configured, and maintained a Sharepoint based Integrated Data Environment (IDE) for program wide information collaboration. Provided advanced features to effectively manage data separation in a highly.

• Designed and developed database software for in-vehicle GPS navigation systems, received awards from J.D. Power and Associates three years in a row from 2002 to 2005.
• Analyzed and compiled navigation data for system improvements, working with planning department on implementation and achieving customer satisfaction.

Torrance, CA, US

• Provided technical and design support for future mobile navigation GPS products
• Facilitated technical exchanges between design team and marketing department, resulting in developing appropriate product specifications, functions and features.
• Telematic Systems Design Project: designed and integrated NOKIA mobile handset with in-vehicle DVD-ROM navigation systems, a product successfully launched in both U.S. and European markets.

Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, JP

• Designed and Conducted Research on a Micro Visual Feedback Control System.
• Utilizing PID feedback control method, successfully performed microscopic organism target tracking, the results of which were published in Japan Robotic Society Conference and used as basis for other micro visual.
