Lead software developer and architect of an agent-based simulation used to assess security vulnerabilities within the commercial aviation system created in partnership with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).• Designed and developed principal model and supporting tool sets in VB.NET using advanced game theory, a virtual world representation, and intelligent agents run through a Monte Carlo simulation to generate risk assessments of current and proposed security systems, provide insights into an adversary’s preferred attack methods, and quantify the consequences of those attacks.• Refactored the core software to eliminate inefficiencies which resulted in a 52% run time improvement and a more maintainable codebase.• Developed an automated post-processing tool to quickly parse and summarize millions of lines of text data and produce a large set of concise charts, reducing the time to produce analysis products over 95%.• Lead analyst successful in synthesizing complex information, clearly identifying the implications, and articulately presenting to a wide range of audiences with varying technical capabilities.• Implemented a rigorous change control process, strict coding standards, test requirements, and automated input data traceability mechanisms to reduce errors and rework.• Instrumental in completing approximately 30 case studies (on topics ranging from Advanced Imaging Technology, Air Cargo Screening, Behavior Detection Officers, Risk Based Screening, among others) used by TSA from initial concept definition, input gathering efforts, software development, post-run analysis, and presentation of results.

Primary software developer of multiple Cyber Security risk analysis capabilities used to evaluate dynamic threats to the organization and its products.• Architect and developer of a Cyber Security Monte Carlo simulation written in VB.NET that allows cyber risks to be evaluated from baseline to future-state scenarios, informing countermeasure prioritization.• Developed a tool using SecureITree which rapidly analyzed and identified areas of key vulnerability from 3.2 million possible attack pathways in a constantly changing cyber environment.• Provided the mathematical expertise, C# software development, and testing support during the formulation of the Cyber-Risk Analysis Tool's capabilities. • Provided BCA Cyber One Use Case development and evaluation support to improve Boeing’s capabilities against emerging cyber threats.• Cross-organizational collaboration to develop a quantitative, consistent, and repeatable Cyber Security Risk Mitigation Framework around the elements of Prevent, Detect and Respond, and Recover.

Lead software developer of a large scale macro-economic model encompassing the US commercial aviation industry, including travelers, airlines, airports, airline and airport suppliers, government agencies, and travel and tourism entities.• Technical lead in developing the model’s capabilities in VB and Excel with VBA using linear and nonlinear programming, single and multivariate regression, system dynamics, econometrics, and Monte Carlo simulation to analyze the impact of security measures. • Developed a Discrete Event Simulation model in Extend to analyze passenger queuing alternatives at security screening stations in order to shape the debate on screening lane configurations among stakeholders and to enhance the model’s validity.• Provided expert analysis and collaborated with senior industry and government partners to develop cost-benefit reports which were used to inform decision makers on possible future investments and to provide policy change or procurement justification.• Led reviews with program management and business development stakeholders. Recognized for clarity of presentation and efficient turnaround of emerging analysis needs.

Built, tested and deployed computational finance software models utilizing option theory, utility theory, and risk analysis techniques.• Developed Excel-based tool suite backed by VBA that extended current spreadsheet functionality by defining a generic component interface for spreadsheets which enabled them to interact like software components.• Created and evaluated business case models to quantitatively analyze program risks for key projects and contracts at Boeing.• Developed a generic algorithm library for utilization across the organization to measure the potential impact of risks and the utility of the mitigation options.• Authored training materials and taught training sessions across various parts of the organization in quantitative risk assessment and applying Computational Finance tools.• Contributed to numerous patents for groundbreaking methods in evaluating Real Options.
