● Developed state-of-the-art implementations to research security aspects of network protocols for geolocation, delayed tolerant networking, and IPv6.● Co-author and instructor for an advanced internal Python training course focusing on specialized package use in novel research applications including advanced data analytics and high- performance computing. Developed course was multi-modal consisting of a collaborative website, course materials, and specially constructed development projects. Taught to over 100 students representing nearly 12% of the organization.● NASA NIAC Fellow and Principal Investigator for a novel concept to eliminate space debris using vortex guns shot from the upper atmosphere. Worked with University of Michigan professor Aaron Ridley and his GITM model to establish a simulated environment of the upper atmosphere to study the forces needed to affect space debris.● Product manager responsible for transition of a DARPA program, liaising with multiple customers to implement transition, effectiveness requirements, and technical specifications into the last phase of the program. Responsible for setting release schedule and determining features needed in each release to support customers’ needs. Installation and operational support of systems at customer sites.● Successfully lead a mobile application privacy research testbed project with 12 scientists. Conducted briefings and coordinated with customer to prioritize and maintain changing goals. Mentored junior engineers in architecting complex software systems, and in robust development and testing practices, configuration management, and reverse engineering. Developed novel operational prototype applications for establishing robust user privacy and anonymity. Responsible for technical planning, systems integration, and verification/validation.● Selected to participate in a 6 month internal leadership program focused on developing key management and leadership skills for effective leadership.

● Designed 300M records/day data mining application requiring multi-terabyte disk arrays accessed by multiple servers in a write/write configuration● Saved the company $1.5M in yearly revenue by rewriting a database application in MySQL, in annual upgrade and maintenance fees while improving performance by a factor of 100.● Lead on fraud prevention for a 5-person development team. Developed a configurable data- reduction system to analyze network traffic, determine fraudulent activity and report those conditions to analysts. Developed fraud-detection algorithms in C++ with rigorous application of design patterns throughout the system. Designed and implemented a process improvement plan that enabled the team to cut development cycles in half while dramatically improving software quality.

Lead Developer for many projects. Worked on large database and analytic dataset modeling, real-time event generated analytics, and data warehousing projects. Enhanced systems by performance tuning of applications, hardware, networks and process. Worked with teams to implement agile processes tailored to the needs of that team. Mentored junior developers on how to develop software efficiently and accurately, and how to position themselves for career advancement.
