Sterling, Virginia, United States

Architected and developed custom Python modules to facilitate seamless data retrieval from the team's data warehouse, optimizing data access and enhancing data processing capabilities for ML engineers and data analysis using Pandas and SQLAlchemy.Acted as the team’s scrum master, working with the product owners and stakeholders to break down goals into atomic tasking for a team of 6. Ensuring tasking priority reflected program priority to meet deadlines and target test events. Contributed to the database schema design ensuring that pipeline events are logged to the database for quick failure lookup and analysis of ETL pipeline metrics as well as a standardized configuration schema, moving away from texted based configuration files.Implemented an automated continuous integration and release process via GitLab CI/CD, streamlining the development and release workflow.

Orlando, Florida Area

Collaborated with electrical engineering teams to develop new firmware for the microcontroller that maintained the network of the EO/IO targeting system, optimizing the system's communication, and ensuring faultless integration with other subsystems.Integrated new electromechanical hardware including solenoid valves for cooling mechanisms, telescopic mirrors, camera filter mechanisms, and state of the art communication devices for customer flight test for contract bidding.Engaged with systems engineers to gather feedback on the user interface, incorporating their insights to drive iterative improvements and enhance the overall user-friendliness of the EO/IR targeting system for pilots and sensor operators.Actively participated in system integration efforts, working closely with hardware and software engineers to ensure smooth functionality and interoperability of all subsystems, achieving a cohesive and powerful targeting solution.

Mckinney, Texas

Utilized Ada to collaboratively implement advanced camera focusing features, working closely with systems and electrical engineers to integrate innovative algorithms, (via Algorithm Design Documents / ADDs) that improved the system's imaging capabilities.Designed and implemented a new development tool to create binary files from the desktop to be written to the EO/IR system, reducing the complexity of using the command line and individually writing bytes to memory registers.Worked with factory personnel and camera engineers to create an innovative color calibration method, significantly reducing calibration time from three days to three hours, resulting in increased efficiency for factory workers.Provided crucial support during internal and customer test events for EO/IR systems on unmanned aerial vehicles, ensuring seamless integration and successful performance validation.

Plantation, Florida

Used CPPUTest and FreeRTOS to create off-target integration test.Ran tests to see the efficiency of the UART driver implemented to see if optimization was needed.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Florida

Designed a weather balloon flight computer for use in a classroom setting. Allowing students to add sensors they find necessary for conducting an experiment for near space investigation. - Using sensors, microcontrollers, and a xbee radio module to interface between multiple weather balloon payloads and the flight computer. - All of this data is then transmitted back to a ground station in real time including GPS location, altitude, atmospheric pressure, and other related sensor readings.Facilitated a classroom with domestic and international students from the ages of 8 to 18. - Teaching and helping other instructors out in robotic, rocket, and near space investigation classes where the students build their own robot/rocket/weather balloon and learn about different ways they can do to improve their design.
