Software Developer supporting the National Ignition Facility.

Support the University's administrative applications, enterprise systems, databases, and reporting needs. This includes designing, coding, testing, maintaining, administering, documenting, and report writing.

Provided technical, organizational, and statistical support for a broad range of data analysis and assessment needs, as well as administered, maintained, and developed the Institutional Research Office's data warehouse. Also had primary responsibility for data reporting and web development.

Leader in designing, building, operating, and troubleshooting a position sensitive microchannel plate detector (Rev. Sci. Instrum. 86, 083303 (2015)). Wrote simulation software to better understand behavior of detector electronics, components, and its performance. Wrote data analysis software to process collected data and statistically evaluate detector performance. Designed detector components using computer aided design (CAD) software.
