Baghdad, Iraq

- My mission involves an austere deployment to Iraq which requires frequent travel to multiple outposts - I respond to numerous calls for assistance for electro-optical surveillance towers throughout this theater- This mission requires that I have a solid understanding in network architecture, optics, electronics, mechanics and proprietary software and how it interfaces with the system as a whole- I perform software upgrades, system integration, and microwave radio frequency management and bandwidth allocation- This mission also requires an untrainable ability to interface with people of different complexities. Anybody from the soldier operating the camera to the high ranking official requesting updates and everybody in between. That being said, I provide comprehensive training to the warfighter to operate the system.- My experience with these surveillance systems span 4 companies all requiring a security clearance and thousands of hours in training.
