Lead the coordination effort to stand up an offsite classified worksite. This involved managing the machines at the location both in hardware and network setup as well as acting as the stand-in system administrator. Coordinated the repository effort between both sites so that the team could develop efficiently. All of this effort was done simultaneously with leading the effort to develop a new tool for our graphical user interface (GUI) using Java.Developed simulation software to demonstrate the performance of ground- and space-basedearly detection systems. Specifically, developed simulated threats to test systemreactions. Performed bug fixes on C++ backend of the simulation. Integratedcommunication of simulation status messages across a large number of subsystems anddeveloped front end GUI using Java to display simulation status to the end user. Designed a GUI icon producer as well as message handlers and schedulers.Developed signal injector simulation software for advanced missile defense radarsystems. Specifically, developed synchronized module for the timing subsystem tosynchronize with an external pulse per second (PPS) signal. Wrote scripts to processradar messages. Served as primary interface to our customer to prepare and present dailystatus packages and provide technical support. Provided support to multiple diversesubsystems throughout the project incorporating the signal injector architecture.

Applied Python to test embedded software on MedtronicBluetooth and RF medical devices in order to verify their compliance with definedproduct and software requirements. Created APIs to interface lower level Bluetoothlibraries to asynchronously communicate between local and remote devices. Designedtests and created test scripts to verify each product requirement.

Worked as a Summer Intern and On-Call Student Employee for more than three years in the Small Scale Flight Software Group (within the Flight Electronics and Software Systems Section, Autonomous Systems Division). Developed software to enable communication between the InSight spacecraft and French-provided on-board science instrument. Included real-time command and data interface capability within a Wind River VxWorks real-time environment. Implemented Python scripts to search MIL-STD- 1553 bus logs and data-mine for spacecraft battery anomalies. Developed Python regression test scripts to diagnose and resolve software and testbed problem reports, such as bridge switching between A- and B-sides of a MIL-STD- 1553 bus. Participated in Mars Curiosity landing event.
