· Supported NASA on the ESSCA Contract through Jacobs Space Exploration Group. Current member of the Space Launch System (SLS) Integrated Systems Health Management & Automation (ISHM) group also known as Mission and Fault Management (M&FM). Supported the Artemis I, Artemis II and Block 1B development and testing campaigns.· Provided analysis and software development support to Vehicle Management End-to-end Testbed (VMET) team of M&FM. Established, tested and analyzed mission success criteria, system reaction to introduced faults and risk reduction. Co-Authored the results document (SLS-RPT-087-06) – a technical report summarizing VMET testing results.· Integrated the current M&FM testing suite to the VMET Sim-in-a-box (VSIB). Coordinated analysis efforts as a VSIB Engineer Tester (VET) and as the Booster, Separation Systems technical lead.· Lead M&FM Integrated Design Team (IDT) for the SLS Booster, Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) Separation System and EUS Flight Termination System subsystems. Developed nominal and off-nominal algorithms in Enterprise Architect that are used to test Flight Software. Presented product deliveries weekly to management and stakeholders.· Developed Thrust Vector Control (TVC), Avionics and Separation System State Analysis Models (SAM) for the M&FM Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) model simulation in Matlab Simulink. Represented M&FM as the POC for TVC and Separation Systems for the NASA MAV program. Awarded for model integration work on the SAM MAV program.· Collaborated with the team to develop Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the SAM MAV simulation to test single fault tolerance. Improved the GUI by creating a Microsoft powerpoint generator for simulation data, data displays and Enumeration conversion. · Published and Co-Authored technical paper for the IEEE Aerospace conference, “Emulation of Core Flight System Applications for Flight Software Development and Validation”
