I work as an Information Systems Engineer in the Deployed Sustainable Programs branch working with DCGS systems. I work directly with customers, management, software developers, software testers, and technical writers to ensure successful execution of programs and technical solutions for our customers, which include all branches of the US military. As a Systems Engineer, it is my role to help direct, lead, and implement the customer’s contractual requirements while looking for ways to improve the current engineering processes and software architecture.

I work in the Block 40/50 F-16 System Test group. In System Test, we are in charge of testing software written by the different subsystem developers to verify its functionality and that it meets requirements that are frequently being modified and added to the overall system as software capability and robustness continue to increase. On a daily basis I have to troubleshoot, assess, and solve problems both hardware and software related by using engineering principles and problem solving. In System Test, we test the software by loading it into the different subsystems integrated into the test stands that we perform our requirements testing on. We are also in charge of updating the requirement documents that drive aircraft system functionality.I have learned about and worked closely with several subsystems of the aircraft including the avionics, radar, anti-ground collision avoidance (AGCAS) system, Link 16, mission planning software, as well as various weapons and their necessary hardware. I have had experience handling, connecting and testing with some of the exact same weapons, LRUs, and other various pieces of hardware that are currently used on the Block 40/50 F-16. Currently the majority of my workload involves working with the Link 16 data network. I have had experience diagnosing and troubleshooting both hardware and software problems with the integrated test stands that we perform our testing on, as well as troubleshooting the LRUs that have been integrated into the test stands. I have had a lot of exposure to the different avionics systems of the aircraft, becoming familiar with the requirements that drive their functionality, how they are designed, and how to troubleshoot them. I have become proficient at determining how requirements are generated, how to modify them as the various systems evolve and are updated over time through newly implemented functionality and software changes, and how to modify them as the system evolves.

I worked as part of a research team of engineers working with a custom designed spectrometer. Our goal, which we accomplished, was to find a method to exploit collected ground data in order to make this particular spectrometer design a viable choice in industry for hyperspectral applications. This was a student position I held while going to school for my undergraduate degree.

I worked as a test engineer intern at an electronics manufacturing plant. I worked alongside test engineers to troubleshoot and fix various products and test benches, as well as design and implement some test benches for companies such as L3 communications and Varian Medical. I was also in charge of a plant-wide inventory project in preparation for an audit. This was a part time job I had while going to school for my undergraduate degree.
