• Led a team of 18 comprised of software engineers, system operators, and system administrators in the operational deployment of the Government Resource for Algorithm Verification, Independent Test, and Evaluation (GRAVITE) system for the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (NPP) spacecraft. Upon launch GRAVITE processed approximately 5 terabytes of data per day for use by the scientific community.• Led an anomaly team on the successful resolution of failed General Parallel File System (GPFS) storage and servers during the Suomi NPP Ground Operations Exercise (GOE). Restoring GRAVITE’s participation in the GOE enabled the ground system to be exercised end-to-end allowing for requirements closure for the ground system. Coordinated efforts for a team that involved developers, system administrators, subject matter experts from Raytheon, and technical support from IBM.• Worked with systems engineering team to sell off and gather artifacts for over 100 system launch requirements for the GRAVITE segment of the ground system.• Rewrote system software version description and hardware baseline documents to comply with requirements levied by the mission assurance team.• Wrote and successfully guided passage of numerous software/hardware change waivers required during the ground system launch freeze.• Primary interface for technical oversight of contractor efforts for software deliverables and operations staffing.• Coordinated data system launch preparation activities in compliance with project directives.• Worked with the senior management team on the restructuring of the organization to reflect operation requirements and to identify staffing needs.

•Ported data analysis tools written in C/C++ from a DEC-UNIX platform to an HP-UNIX platform for use by the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) science team.•Converted science planning and analysis tools written in IDL to C on an SGI/IRIX platform for use by the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) science team.•Delivered a coordinate transformation utility written in C on an HP-UNIX platform that was critical to the scientific analysis of NEAR magnetometer data.•Designed and coded Perl routines to automate magnetometer data transfer via pcAnywhere.•Designed and coded PERL scripts to automate the operation of dust storm forecasting software on a Sun Solaris system. •Rewrote legacy FORTRAN input code in dust storm forecasting software to provide researchers with an easier method of experimenting with parameters in the model.•Lead point of contact for installation and troubleshooting issues for a dust storm forecasting system was delivered to the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA).•Authored documentation for software packages delivered to AFWA. These documentation packages included requirements, designs, test plans, support plans, and user guides.•Developed software tools written in C, PERL, FORTRAN, and IDL to process, analyze, and visualize data from various spacecraft missions.•Developed and maintained web pages for data display and community retrieval of data for the NEAR, Iridium, UPOS, and Freja missions. This included writing HTML as well as writing JavaScript and CGI/PERL scripts and creating graphics as needed.

Columbia, Md

•Successfully designed, coded, and tested software to aid in the design and analysis of the messaging aspect of the Iridium Satellite System (ISS). This software was written in C on a SGI/IRIX platform and was managed via RCS.•Designed, coded, and tested Avenue scripts to automate analysis of the ISS using ArcView. ArcView is a PC based COTS software package used as a Geographic Information System (GIS) tool. Avenue is the object oriented programming language that allows users to modify or enhance ArcView.•Served as core member of the Software Engineering Process Group tasked with improving the software practices throughout the company. Drafted company wide procedures for requirements management and reviewed software procedures written by the group.

Baltimore,Md

•Successfully completed the designing, coding, and testing of a FORTRAN VAX/VMS based engineering telemetry data analysis system for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Its products aided engineers in trending and trouble shooting and provided products useful to the astronomical community for analyzing science data.•Supervised a system operator/programmer in the operation of the above telemetry analysis system and the distribution of its products to the engineering staff and the astronomical community.•Developed tools in FORTRAN, IDL, and C to analyze HST engineering data.•Participated in the design, development, and testing of an interactive telemetry analysis system written in FORTRAN on a VAX/VMS system.
