Led a team of devs & analysts to maintain and evolve a big data platform. We provided tools/data on Hadoop and AWS, managed data access ecosystems (REST, Java, Python, notebooks, etc.), and maintained numerous data pipelines/analytics/viz tools.

(1) Leading DevOps improvements for our transportation-focused big data platform; (2) Developing/operating a streaming application for detecting/assessing potential safety events at airports in near-real time (running on sponsor's cloud platform). (3) Coaching developers on Java/OO best practices, sustainable development, and software testing

Designed, developed, and tested an FMS-based modeling & simulation capability for fast-time simulations at medium fidelity that serves as a backend trajectory engine for several projects.

Supported the design and testing of automatic flight control systems for several aircraft programs in the Flight Control Systems and Flight Test group; (2) Defined and reviewed system requirements; (3) Developed models and simulation tools to assess controller performance.

AAE 564: Control Systems Analysis and Synthesis (Fall)Managed/graded student homework/exams and helped students with class material.AAE 364: Control Systems Laboratory (Spring)Supervised/helped students during lab experiments and graded lab reports.

Project: Integrating Unmanned Aerial Systems in the National Airspace System (UAS in the NAS)Advisor: Ricardo ArteagaDeveloped and tested "Sense and Avoid" display software for ADS-B In/Out equipped aircraft.

Conducted research in the following fields: (1) Guidance, navigation, and control of autonomous systems; (2) Nonlinear controller design; (3) Hyperspectral Unmixing in remote sensing applications

Project: Numerical Analysis of Cyberattacks on Unmanned Aerial SystemsAdvisor: Associate Professor Dr. Inseok HwangResearched the vulnerability of unmanned aerial systems to cyber-attacks including state estimator corruption, fuzzing attack, and sensor spoofing.

Project: Turbulent Gas Jet Ignition of Lean Methane-Air MixturesAdvisor: Assistant Professor Dr. Li QiaoResearched turbulent jet ignition characteristics of the lean combustion of methane.

(1) Inspected and repaired the helicopter's structural, mechanical, and hydraulic systems. (2) Promoted to Team Captain after attaining a large number of technical certifications and showing exemplary behavior. (3) Managed a team of 15 soldiers in evening operations and trained new soldiers.
