San Diego, Ca

08-2011 to Present; A Senior Reconstruction and Operations Analyst; Undersea Warfighting Development Center - UWDC),10-2004 to 08-2011; Lead Operations Analyst; General Dynamics Information Technology,For the past eleven years, I have primarily served as principal advisor and lead analyst in the development of the ASW Tactical Assessment System (A-TAS) for reconstruction and analysis (R&A) of Fleet exercises and real world operations in support of UWDC, the U.S. Navy’s Center of Excellence for ASW. The A-TAS program is an essential analysis and evaluation tool used by major components of the U.S. Navy including COMSEVENTHFLT, COMFIFTHFLT, and Commander Destroyer Squadron Fifteen (DESRON 15) to assess performance during exercises and operations.In addition to my A-TAS development tasks, which include testing modifications and updates and formulating new lines of development to improve R&A support, I am also a full-time Operations Analyst, which entails near real-time reconstruction and analysis of large scale, multinational exercises, smaller unit-level tactical events, and investigation of high interest Real World events and contingency operations.Supporting dozens of such exercises and operations per year requires the integration of multiple task elements such as assisting U.S. Fleet Forces Command, U.S. Pacific Fleet, and C7F AOR Staffs with the determination of analysis objectives, which in turn leads to the development of assessment products, and finally the data collection requirements, all within the constraints of the operational timeline. I spearheaded the development of the Single-Side reconstruction tool in A-TAS, which generates estimated Red submarine tracks for Real World and High Interest operations using contact information from multiple friendly data sources. The Single-Side reconstruction products are used in daily briefs and intelligence assessments throughout the C5F & C7F AORs.

Yokosuka Japan

Assigned to Yokosuka and Kamiseya, Japan, I served as both Resource Manager and Site Manager for San Diego, California, as well. Tasks included support for exercises and tests for ashore and afloat operations in the Far East including exercise planning, data collection, coordination, assessment, and reporting for large scale (Integrated Task Force level) and smaller tactical unit-level level exercises and multi-national exercises. Duties entailed embarking on naval vessels to collect data and provide near-real time reconstruction of exercise events. Post-exercise briefings were provided at various command levels, including the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Supervised personnel efforts in data collection and reconstruction and field evolutions in the Eastern Pacific region. During large scale exercises, coordinated and supervised large teams (up to 35 analysts and 12 reconstruction and software development experts); supported and managed more than 40 projects in this capacity.

Corona, California

As a Systems Analyst, I provided computer-assisted data reconstruction, analysis, and management support for more than 40 exercises. Most of my support was targeted to Air Defense exercises and included embarking on units in support of data collection. I also managed computer data processing and systems efforts, and supervised data processing analysis and reconstruction efforts. In addition, I provided training to users and company personnel, ashore and afloat, in the West Coast/Eastern Pacific region and the East Coast region. I served as Supervisor of the data processing group, consisting of five personnel, and maintained office PCs with hardware and software installation and maintenance support. I supervised the development and maintenance of software to support the Tomahawk and Harpoon cruise missile programs and replacement reconstruction software, which included supervising three additional software developers.
