Wireless SCADA & Telemetry Systems Integration.NRI's SCADA & Telemetry systems were based upon an industrial PC architecture. From 1995-2019, NRI mainly served rural and municipal water and wastewater clients within Illinois and Missouri.

I reported to the legendary late Dr. Don Forester at NRL on a part-time contract basis, where I provided a particular set of engineering skills within a high-security environment.Aircraft Radar Signature Analysis & MinimizationComputational Electromagnetic Analysis.Method-of-Moments, Physical Optics, Physical Theory of Diffraction, Impedance Boundary Condition, 3 Dimensional CAD Geometric Modeling, Intel HyperCube and Cray Supercomputers.NRL relied upon my expertise and software toolset for creating high-fidelity 3D meshed computer models of combat aircraft -- models suitable for Method-of-Moments analysis.Radar Signature Technology Group.I was also the acting security officer at my facility, handling all matters related to document control and security clearances.(Part Time Consultant).

With a desire for a more entrepreneurial environment, I left McDonnell-Douglas to head up engineering at this small company; but after only a few months, I recognized that I was ready for the ultimate entrepreneurial challenge -- starting my own business.RF and Digital Systems Design.Wireless Data and Voice Communication Systems.

McDonnell-Douglas was my first job after college, and I thoroughly enjoyed my years there. At the time I began, the company's low-observable technology program lagged far behind those at Lockheed and Northrop. I was part of the engineering talent that was challenged with closing that distance. In the course of the five years that I spent with the company, my colleagues and I had developed design, analysis, simulation, and prototyping capabilities that put us on a par with the best players in the military aerospace industry.Aircraft Radar Signature Analysis & MinimizationComputational Electromagnetic Analysis.Method-of-Moments, Matrix Partitioning & Optimization, Physical Optics, Physical Theory of Diffraction, Impedance Boundary Condition, 3 Dimensional CAD Geometric Modeling, Intel HyperCube and Cray Supercomputers.I markedly contributed to the computational electromagnetic software at MDA, and was the author of its flagship machine-independent, out-of-core large complex matrix solver, which is still in use today.Phantom Works - New Aircraft & Missile Development Division.
