Orbital Micro Systems is a Weather Intelligence company providing critical data for the world's decision makers. Our first of it's kind Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) fleet of micro satellites enables us to measure global 3 dimensional maps of temperature and humidity every 15 minutes. OMS has developed Weather Record, a proprietary on-orbit data analytics technology to provide instant alerts to customers on the observations they care about most. OMS has identified over 100 potential commercial applications of its technology. www.orbitalmicro.com

I oversee space research projects at CU-Boulder for the Colorado Space Grant Consortium. I direct satellite and other space related projects and technology. I lead interdisciplinary teams through the full design cycle from project definition to data analysis. I collaborate with faculty at CU to develop programs, interface with industry, and lead Space Grant Boulder lab operations.

As a member of the C&DH Systems Engineering group for ISS, I worked with NASA and the International Partners to help define computer hardware interfaces. While at JSC, I worked on the GN&C flight software group to implement software changes.

As an undergraduate in EE, I led an interdisciplinary team tasked with designing a satellite system between a consortium of 3 universities. As the End-to-End Data Systems lead I was responsible for the C&DH/FSW and Mission Operations planning for this small student built satellite.
