Responsible for delivering connectivity, vulnerability management, and endpoint security for 1.2M+ networked devices and over 700K users across 180+ Air Force bases. Created infrastructure-as-code pipelines in GitLab to rapidly deploy Kubernetes clusters and software-defined networking appliances to military installations. Build steps use Packer, Terraform, Ansible, Bash, and Python. Built automated testing environments with Terraform and Ansible to quickly evaluate end-to-end throughput capabilities of virtual routers and firewalls in multiple configurations. Comprehensive testing revealed critical performance limitations of certain vendor products, providing key information for a $300M business decision.Relevant Skills:TerraformAnsiblePythonGolangBashDevOpsDevSecOpsGitLabKubernetesInfrastructure as Code (IaC)GitVulnerability ManagementTenable NessusTaniumPalo AltoCiscoNutanixvSphereLinuxELKElasticKibanaLogstashFluentd

Shalimar, Florida, United States

Led 11-member team responsible for deploying radar jammer software to over 1,500 combat aircraft, protecting those aircraft and their pilots from being intercepted by enemy missiles. Conducted 800+ hours of hardware-in-the-loop testing at specialized military test environments in order to assess, troubleshoot, and refactor software. Built libraries using NumPy for generating complex radar waveforms, and developed a compiler to translate Python code into machine instructions for radar signal processors. Using these tools, formulated over 50 new deceptive jamming algorithms, doubling aircraft survivability rates against 10 foreign weapons systems. Initiated project to extract and display positional data from video test data in near-real time using NumPy and OpenCV. This application allowed for rapid evaluation of system performance during test events, saving $10,000 in test-hours during each event.Relevant Skills:PythonMatlabOpenCVNumPyElectronic WarfareHardware TestingMachine Learning

Dayton, Ohio, United States

Informed U.S. policy makers on the military capabilities of foreign governments by conducting big data analysis of signals intelligence gathered from across the globe. Modernized legacy Python, Perl, and Bash tools used for manual data analysis and labeling. Interviewed colleagues and identified pain points to target for tool improvement. After implementing UX improvements and new tooling, data input speeds by the team increased by 50%, which accelerated training dataset availability for subsequent machine learning initiatives.Relevant Skills:PythonBashPerlMatlabData Analytics
