ACE is a 10-week course where interns complete a research project, leadership case studies, technical challenge problems and reports, as well as weekly warfighting operations to practice tactical planning and operations in the cyber and simulated physical domains. The weekly workload for ACE interns is 80-100 hours a week.- My research team created a network degradation tool to simulate operational environments for a multi-million dollar distributed dynamic targeting application for Air Operations Centers. We used Django, Postgres, and Grafana to wrap Toxiproxy, a network simulator, in a user-friendly web application.- Competed in weekly operations in a simulated cyber and physical domain with 42 interns from US, UK, and Switzerland to learn tactical planning culminating in a 56-hour cyber warfare capstone event- Our technical problems involved an eight-hour lecture, a challenge problem, and a ~25 page technical report. We studied cryptography, red teaming, malware analysis, network evasion, covert channels, DLL injection, and hardware security. Show less

- Designed and developed a DevOps command line tool utilizing MySQLdump, concurrency (asynchronous I/O), and compression in Python to improve data export and import times by 90% or greater

- Co-developed a remote firmware update system as part of a CI/CD pipeline for embedded devices with the Espressif ESP32 microprocessor, Docker containers, and GitHub Actions- Built two frontend web applications with Python and Flask to interface with dozens of end devices
