• Conducted firmware reverse engineering of industry leading mobile phones to enable development of a capability that allowed the customer to restore unusable devices to a working state.• Led a small team to develop a new method for restoring unusable mobile devices to a working state (separate from the method above.)• Conducted firmware reverse engineering of industry leading digital signal processors (DSPs.)• As part of a small team, developed scripts to decompress several Megabytes of key memory sections.• Principal Investigator of an Internal R&D project focused on smartphone security. The project resulted in a prototype intrusion prevention system for Android devices called APE. The underlying technology was patented by US patent number 9,954,873.• Presented APE at a pitch session during the 2017 Federal Laboratory Consortium.• Received $350,000 in funding from DHS to make additional enhancements to APE and engage with industry to broaden use of APE.• APE was selected as a finalist for highly competitive Government Computing News Dig IT Award (now called Government Innovation Award.)• As part of industry engagement gave booth presentations at several conferences: RSA Conference 2017, Black Hat 2018, and Mobile World Congress Americas 2018.• Received $208,000 in follow-on funding from DHS to transition additional MITRE technologies.• Led and mentored a small team in support of weapon systems assessments required by Section 1647 of the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. Responsible for the project plan, giving work assignments, establishing due dates, and staff training and development.• Part of a team that developed the architecture for a new lab to support the weapons assessments.• Led a small team to develop a tool that automatically downloads data structures of interest to the customer and organizes the data in a database. Installed the tool in the customer’s lab.

• Developed an indoor localization app that uses Bluetooth signals from beacons to locate a user within and room and display location via a map.• Moderated a panel at the 2013 ATF Mobility Summit.• Co-author of the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA’s) Wireless Communications and Mobility Capability Roadmap.• Co-authored analysis papers for DISA that were used to select a Mobile Device Management (MDM) suite and an enterprise Mobile Application Store (MAS.)• Developed the methodology used by DISA to evaluate responses to a Request for Information regarding MDM software and Application Stores.• Developed a macro tool based in MS Excel to generate optimal curricula for DISA’s Cyber Workforce Training program.• Used the tool in a pilot to product two initial curricula, and developed an efficient, repeatable process for generating additional curricula for dozens of additional roles.• Wrote a MAS Market Analysis that examined Enterprise Application Stores and produced a list of the top six options. This list was used for follow-on analysis where the top six were evaluated against customer requirements and further consolidate to the top two. These two options were piloted with end users to inform the decision-making process.• Consolidated the test results end user feedback from the pilot into a report to inform decision-makers.

• Wrote a web-based tool that applied machine learning to past crimes to predict where crimes were more likely to occur in the future, and generated a color-coded map to display results.• Part of a team that optimized and enhanced the functionality of a web-based crime analysis system, called WebCAT, that integrates database and crime analysis tools. The system has been licensed by a company to be sold to law enforcement agencies.
