• Working the digital transformation effort with the Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO) out of Space Systems Command (SSC) at the Los Angeles Air Force Base (LAAFB)• Implementing a cutting-edge modeling composition pattern in Cameo using SysML that will be used across all programs / assets under the SSC enterprise to allow for easy digitization and linking across organizations• Participating in Planning Increment events and reviews in which engineering initiatives and tasks are defined and scheduled for each quarter in order to meet stakeholder requirements and goals• Developed a model-based engineering guide that can be used to provide all programs under the SSC enterprise with an effective and efficient method of integrating digital and model-based engineering • Leading a team in the development of MBSE-based templates for mission engineering and system-of-systems engineering workflow productsMajor Accomplishment:Leading the definition and usage of a modeling composition pattern that allows all SSC assets (satellite systems) within a Cameo model to be characterized by their orbital parameters. This pattern can be imported into any given Cameo project and provide exact orbit determination / parameters for each asset included in said project – thereby opening doors for Mod/Sim usage within the projects in the near future.

Falls Church, Va, Us

• Executed product development for multiple spacecraft payloads in both geostationary and molniya orbits across multiple programs (both in the Implementation and Design phases of the SDLC)• Supported the operational crews in their response to anomalies as they monitor and maintain the fleet• Participated in the development, rehearsal, and execution of Launch and Early On-Orbit Testing (LEOT) of new spacecrafts as they are readying for deployment into service• Developed OpsCon / ConOps documentation for newly awarded programs• Executed Requirements Management by ensuring requirements are developed and allocated correctly to reduce creep as the program moves into later stages of the SDLC• Interfaced with subject matter experts, design engineers, customers, and other stakeholders via PDRs, CDRs, Working Groups, and TEMs to ensure the success of program across all phases• Worked closely with the Chief Engineering Staff and IPT Leads to execute overarching technical and program tasks within deadlines to prevent schedule slips or over-budget scenariosMajor Accomplishment:Led the development of the program OpsCon and ConOps and presented key mission payload data at multiple TEMs and Design Review Gates. Innovated new methods of integrating MBSE tools and techniques as part of the product development process. Worked with the Chief Engineering Staff as support for the team.

Mclean, Va, Us

• Organized, created, and formatted system and system of systems requirements documentation to be uploaded to DOORS for efficient artifact tracing to stakeholder supplied requirements• Allocated requirements to specific range systems and interfaces, and ingested them into Cameo MagicDraw to allow for system decomposition and requirements tracing across all domains• Owner of multiple range systems during the system decomposition and interface creation process in which the system context and interactions across the range were identified• Created various system and system of systems diagrams/views within the overall model to deliver to the client within an accelerated timeframe• Trailblazed the path forward regarding model utilization and design to meet customer needs• Headed the research spike effort to identify how to represent physical range locations within the model and allocate system instances to these physical locations• Led key TEMs (technical exchange meetings) to ensure that customer goals were being met and record-keeping of progress towards mission goals were held in an efficient manner• Assisted in an internal curriculum and training development project to provide a more defined set of pathways for members of the Cyber START team within the San Diego NMC accountMajor Accomplishment:Developed system context diagrams, connectivity diagrams, and performed requirements allocation for multiple Naval range systems. Led the telemetry and environmental conditioning subsystem teams to successful Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs).

Carlsbad, Ca, Us

• Monitored, and maintained Viasat’s current and incoming fleet of satellites, consisting of Maxar FS-1300 and Boeing spacecrafts, by interfacing with the ground infrastructure and other operating facilities• Created ARES / STOL procedures and Confluence manuals from manufacturer documentation to develop, refine, and execute satellite operations efficiently and effectively• Developed Python and Epoch (Kratos) tools that any member of the team can effectively use to execute and analyze processes of the satellites’ internal and external controls• Participated in regular collaborative Engineering and Operations meetings to assess both nominal and contingency operations, as well as analyze the current state of product development for the fleet• Created documentation reports via Jira tickets in the event of failures and anomalies to facilitate an efficient return to nominal conditions and allow for other team members to review said events, thereby creating a means for future preventative actionsMajor Accomplishment:Assisted in the development of the ground configuration system and operator interface for new satellites to be added to the current fleet. Led live testing efforts of these system configurations with coordination of other operating facilities both internal and external to the company.
