Round Rock, Tx, Us

I am currently part of the Communication Systems Integration team at the Department of the Army’s Program Executive Office C3N. My expertise lies in software-defined radio (SDR), Voice over IP (VoIP), and tactical networking. My goal is to enable seamless voice, data, and position location information (PLI) across complex networked environments. By integrating program-of-record and commercial off-the-shelf radio and satellite systems, I create cohesive network solutions that enhance operational capabilities for mission-critical applications. I provide strategic guidance to U.S. Army leadership across various divisions, ensuring the effective deployment of Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) assets. This helps minimize coverage gaps and strengthens mission readiness.
