Bethesda, MD, US

• Worked on the Systems Engineering team for the NGG Ground Segment as a lead SE, taking on advanced systems work within our team, between ground teams, across segments to the SE’s in the program’s space segment, and.
• Brought a full set of project requirements from pre-PDR to CDR and beyond, and served a central role in the writing, updating, & maintenance of both high and low-level requirements
• Led a team to pioneer cybersecurity requirements for the program (the first implementation of the subject for LM Space) and iterated to hone them into a trailblazing requirement set that received acclaim from NGG.
• Worked in CAMEO to create a digital version of the system using MBSE, and integrated the requirement base into the model for traceability, model/requirement completeness, and verification
• Acted as a mentor and point of contact for newer SE’s as they joined the program, meeting with them to answer questions and keep them productive, and holding self-created trainings to educate both new engineers and the.

• Acted as liaison between dev team, product owner, and testing team to replace JetPlan Engine with a modern equivalent with additional functionality that is tailored to each customer's needs on a per-customer basis

Boulder, Colorado, US

• Acted as optics lead, thermal/software co-lead in a group of 8 students tasked to design and build a ground-based optical system with thermal control used for capturing, storing, and analyzing images of a NIR.
• Participated in conceptual, design, fabrication, and testing experience with thermal, optical, and software subsystems including subsystem integration, interoperation, and engineering analysis
• Co-wrote customer deliverables: PDD, CDD, PDR, CDR documents, cost and risk analyses, component and subsystem trade studies, and a final requirements verification report

• Worked as member of CCAR’s iGPS team to use the Iridium Satellite constellation as a GPS supplement to create a more comprehensive coverage
• Acted as member of clock estimator team primarily through MATLAB to create and debug a script that parsed Iridium constellation data and utilized Kalman filters to estimate clock biases for each satellite and future.
• Utilized STK to create models of Iridium sensor beams as they reflect off water and are received by a low-flying aircraft to determine signal reception and strength
