Principal Models Based Systems Engineer developing SysML, UPDM, and UAF models and architectures to aid multiple US Government Sponsors develop architectures for systems and systems of systems acquisition, integration, requirements development, as well as performing SysML based system simulations, and some operations research.

-Developing DoDAF2.0 Enterprise architectures, and System, System of System, and Family of System Models using MBSE practices, providing Engineering expertise and input for development and analysis of System and Enterprise requirements.-Wrote System Performance Specification (SPS) for follow-on Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Acquisition on PMW-120 for NAVWAR 5.0-Leveraged extensive requirements experience to write bulk of requirements in System Performance Spec sent out to industry as part of RFP. Special Attention given to Environmental Stress Screening Requirements of MIL-STD-810H, EMI/EMC Requirements of MIL-STD-461G, Capability Performance / Demonstration Requirements, and Interface Requirements.-Captured Baseline Capabilities of current UUV fleet-Quickly developed use cases and generated high quality graphics to capture new and previously undefined UUV autonomous behaviors.

Develop and produce DoDAF 2.0 products and views for expansion of Net-ready capability on current fleet of USAF MC-130H aircraft. Modeled multiple missions, use cases. Worked directly with USAF customers to draft, revise, publish over 40 different DoDAF 2.0 UPDM views and generate associated information support plan.
