Department Head: Responsible for mission certification and crew development for two SSGNs, one SSBN, two SSN and eight submarine crews. Direct liaison with Special Operations Forces (SOF) and overseas Task Forces, managing assets in support of strike/SOF global tasking.

Assistant Department Head: Managed operation of nuclear and non-nuclear systems, maintenance planning, and system troubleshooting on a 35-year-old $3.5B nuclear submarine. Served as the at sea technical expert and engineering authority charged with keeping the ship underway as long as required to meet the country's objectives. Completed two western pacific deployments and six missions vital to national security.- Drove and coordinated the efforts of more than 45 sailors along with shore-based maintenance personnel and contracted engineers to keep USS Oklahoma City operational. - Led two years of production meetings reconciling the ship's mission requirements with necessary maintenance and upgrades. Interfaced with operators, engineers, and supervisors to identify and direct priorities, work schedules, resources, and personnel to maintain quality and timeline requirements.- Developed over fifty written procedures with corresponding training to accomplish high-risk engineering operations and processes.- Responsible for communicating technical problems to headquarters and coordinating personnel and material to affect timely restoration.- Leveraged technical background and scant resources to complete numerous repairs underway that were widely considered impossible on mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems, resulting in no lost mission time.

Student: Studied the science and engineering fundamental to the design, operation, and maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants. Regarded as the most demanding academic program in the U.S. military. Topics include nuclear physics, health physics, reactor technology and principles, thermodynamics, applied water chemistry, and material science. Courses are accepted for graduate credit at numerous civilian institutions. Graduated in the top 10%.

After-hours work with the Space Warfighting Analysis Center through the Naval Postgraduate School to employ Model-Based Systems Engineering for future force design objectives. Studied orbital engagement and evasion maneuvers (principles of space dogfighting), which led to a patent-pending for a novel tactic to protect spacecraft from co-orbital threats.- Extensive MATLAB/Simulink modeling for two and three-body co-orbital maneuvers.- Development of Python-based low fidelity Clohessy-Wiltshire propagator for space tactic exploration and optimization. - Statistical analysis of evasion techniques through Design of Experiment and Factorial Analysis using Minitab. - Spacecraft Architecture Modeling using SysML 1.6 in the No Magic Cameo System Modeler tool.

Roboticist specializing in the rapid development of boutique Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for deployed Special Forces.- Led the development of a compact night vision camera pod for commercial UAS from initial concept to 800 unit production.- Responsible for selection, sourcing, and acquisition of over $1M of components and software. - Extensive rapid-prototyping and small-batch hardware development, including over fifty unique 3D printed structures drawn in SolidWorks and six custom printed circuit boards designed in Altium. - Experience writing C++ for production use in embedded micro-controllers and Python for system-level interfacing. - Red-teamed and reverse engineered UAS intended for warfighting use to verify security and operational requirements were met.

Internship as part of the Military Academic Collaborations Program with the Monitoring Systems and Technology Intern Center. Continued space robotics research (AMODS) I started at the United States Naval Academy. Granted access to the entirety of the laboratories resources and the ability to assign employees to specific tasks to advance the project. Assisted in bridging the professional gap between Sandia's internal robotics and satellite teams.
