As a dedicated Systems Engineer, I’m passionate about problem solving that connects strategic vision and objectives to an iterative technical solution. I am surrounded by incredible people, from data scientists and unmanned systems engineers to DevSecOps specialists and model/simulation coders. My specialty is enabling these experts to develop, integrate, and test their component technologies into an integrated product baseline that meets our customer’s most challenging requirements. With my years of experience in Live Virtual and Constructive Experimentation test planning, design of experiments, and data capture and analysis, I’ve sharpened my System of Systems perspective, data driven decision-making, and level leadership style. A highlight in my career was the privilege of serving as Test Director for over 70 high-risk, high-visibility test events spanning multiple time zones, for which I was honored with a Civilian Service Commendation Medal in 2023.My interests continue to grow in working with and leading talented individuals through Program and Project Management. I am currently pursuing a Project Management Professional certification to add additional skills and tools to my leadership and management style.
