AMIGOSWorked on a software team developing a distributed federated satellite communications simulation tool in Java. Responsible for taking equations and pseudocode from scientists and converting it into robust maintainable code. In addition to unit testing, created regression tests to verify that the code was correct to within small floating point errors.Signal ProcessingResponsible for developing RF signal processing analysis and processing tools. Responsible for code quality and accuracy reviews for multiple programs. Responsible for accelerating the use of the latest Python tools and other open source software languages. Responsible for mentoring and guiding new developers in good software practices.

BELLAGIOAs a key systems and software engineer for an agile, behavior-driven, multi-contractor development effort, made significant contributions to requirement flowdown and mapping, feature development, software architecture, coding, and testing.SOLDIERLead developer on a year long R&D effort developing a RF signal processing algorithms in an AWS EMR environment. Effort concluded with a robust algorithm ready for deployment as an AWS application.DRACOResponsible for the integrating, testing and characterizing a stabilized platform for a space payload. Captured and analyzed data to develop a high fidelity friction model. Prepared test procedures for the production unit. MFEOIRModeled a high-friction, low-inertia fluid rotary unit (FRU) with high fidelity gearing and friction. Designed a non-linear control algorithm to command the FRU to follow a roll gimbal. Used Matlab Automatic Code Generation suite to create auto-generated code for the system.

Cypress, Ca

Full Lifecycle Engineering Responsible for designing, integrating, testing, fielding and supporting LRIP of multiple gimbal stabilized platforms. Modeling, analysis and design of control algorithms for a gimbal and isolator stabilized EO/IR system using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Responsible for integrating, calibrating and testing the sensor and actuator hardware for stabilized platforms. Derive algorithms for target location and geo-pointing. System Analysis Responsible for first principles based synthetic imagery generation, modeling and analysis. Create complex scenery including terrain, buildings and objects using Blender. Apply material properties and render synthetic imagery for visible, infrared, hyperspectral and LIDAR systems using DIRSIG and supporting tools. Process raw imagery for analysis and exploitation algorithms using MATLAB and correlate results to real-world phenomenology. System Engineer Well versed with the roles and duties of a System Engineer. Performed requirements decomposition and allocation and developed specifications, processes and metrics.
