As an Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) IPA, I am tasked with performing research and modeling and simulation on the DoD Services medical networks with the goal of determining the "as is" architecture. Once that architecture is established, a "to be" architecture can be mod/sim'd to simulate the best way ahead for Sr Level decisions on medical data center consolidation. The model will use a government directed COTS modeling suite known as OPNET. Part of the job has been to DISA STIG the required hardware so that Authority To Test authorization can be obtained for the live medical networks.

-Squadron level operational leader of 150+ military, DoD civilian, and contractor technical experts in the real-time development and assessment of cyber network offensive and defensive capabilities. Most capabilities developed from scratch at the speed of need for the operational warfighter. 250+ tools/capabilities <4 years.-Led development of “Real-Time” capabilities (generally < 90 days); provided capabilities to US Air Force (USAF) network warfare squadrons, law enforcement, counterintelligence agencies, and Combatant Commands. Due to capability production successes, USAF allocated additional $51M to new capability development efforts.- Helped pioneer development of USAF’s first internally developed Intrusion Prevention System (IPS); the initial $10M+ investment enabled the USAF network Intrusion Detection/Prevention solution for all base boundaries and all USAF Internet gateways.- Managed $4M budget providing innovation and development of cutting-edge USAF cyber defense/forensic capabilities. Enabled a 75% increase in detection capabilities of malware on the USAF Network via the development of countermeasures for USAF and joint-level cyber operators.- Managed development projects to include cost/schedule/performance and contract monitoring; Planned, organized, and coordinated contracting, development, program control, configuration management, and testing; formalized requirements into proper specifications.

Chantilly, Va

- Led 500-member team that planned and executed the move of a National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) command and control (C2) ground station from one location to another consolidated location while still safely operating and maintaining multiple NRO satellite constellations in orbit; $10B+ in National assets. - Decommissioned old C2 facility saving $30M per year in Operations and Maintenance costs.

- Guided critical $14B satellite program through critical acquisition milestones working policy/finance with Congressional liaisons- Lead spacecraft systems engineer for $3.5B electro-optical imagery satellite for NRO follow-on constellation

Los Angeles, Ca And Albuquerque, Nm

- Directed all aspects of USAF Space Control Technology $40M/yr portfolio--Worked financial management and resource allocation for long-range planning of programs and objectives.- Identified advanced technologies from U.S. technical/industrial base for transition to USAF’s space program; key justification for new start satellite program critical to national defense.- Led USAF team developing laser anti-satellite technology; technology developed, perfected and used to protect $100B in national space assets.
