• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
