Leading the team that will operate NASA's first planned robotic surface exploration of the Lunar South Pole. We are designing, building and testing the Mission System and Training the Team. In addition to being NASA's first lunar surface rover, VIPER is a pathfinder for NASA for low cost mission development, commercial transportation to the lunar surface.

• Led the team that designed, prototyped and built a lunar surface operations exploration capability for NASA's lunar program. Brought agile methods beyond software, to the mission system. Formulated plans, strategy.

Silicon Valley

• I founded UCT to bring user-centered design to end-user software for mission controllers. We were pioneers in agile development in a mission critical environment, the integration of user centered design into agile.
• We designed and built software technology to democratize mission control by empowering users to compose their own displays, and integrating what had previously been disparate environments into a unified flexible user.
