As a Research Engineer at Quantum Machines, I assisted in the research and development of advanced propulsion prototypes. I worked in the engineering lab alongside the Chief Engineer to develop any software required and authored several internal physics papers. I also assisted in the overall direction and vision for the experimental efforts and roadmap.I also designed, integrated, and developed the high-speed data collection pipeline (50k TPS) for the physics experiments. This project included software development for the data architecture, data collection, server development, and data storage. This large software effort also required the development of Go bindings using libUSB for the data collection hardware. Some of the technologies used in the project were gRPC and Protobuf for the data schema and Badger and BoltDB for data storage. All this work was completed using Go.I also developed several command-line tools in Go for extracting and reducing the physics data and logs. These customized tools assisted in filtering and querying the large datasets from the physics experiments. I also created several data visualization tools for both real-time and post-experiment analysis. All data visualizations were built using ReactJS and hosted by Go servers.In addition to the data collection and visualization efforts, I developed C++ software for the embedded hardware. This included software for Arduinos for sensor measurements. I also assisted in the electrical design and creation of the measurement devices.Due to my mechanical engineering degree, I also assisted in the mechanical design and manufacture of many parts required for the physical experiments. This included CAD work, 3D printing and fabrication, and assembly.

I was the technical founder of Arkham Storage, which aimed to provide an end-to-end encrypted cloud storage solution. I led the development efforts from inspiration to MVP and everything in between, including product design, feature specification, marketing, and software development.I managed and led the software design and development for the desktop application and cloud architectures, the encryption and authentication scheme, and all application and API development for the end product. This included developing Go bindings for C++ encryption APIs (Crypto++).Due to the small size of the company, I directed the software development efforts for our team. This included all product roadmap documentation, managing the development backlog, scrum master, and lead developer. I also managed the product release cycle for desktop and cloud products and all cloud operations (DevOps) for network architecture.The desktop application was developed using Electron and ReactJS with Redux and Golang as the local server for encryption. I led the development of several microservices in Go for application and API servers for data storage and user management.I also coordinated and managed the deployment process for the servers with Docker on Kubernetes using the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). All servers utilized the GCP Storage and DataStore APIs and integrated a novel cryptographic algorithm (SRK) into all aspects of the product.

At Black Label Data, I was one of the original technical founders and started the company to provide custom data analysis tools to bioinformatic startups in Huntsville, AL. I managed customer relations and product requirements and established acceptable development cycles.As a technical founder, I led and managed the software development efforts on several bioinformatics-related projects. During my time at Black Label Data, I developed the following end products:- A large-scale Java Swing desktop application for multi-purpose data analytics- A proprietary image processing software using Java for extracting DNA microarray results- A prototype of a distributed database along with the required network protocols- A hardware integration software package for motor and camera controlsI also architected and built a large desktop application for a bioinformatics startup, which allowed for better analytics of the genomes the biologists were working with. It included data visualizations, extraction, and genetic sequencing data comparison.Our company also contributed to the software development of a hardware integration project that controlled a handful of motors and digital cameras for a research grant at UAH.

During my time at Wyle, I progressed from an entry-level engineer to a team lead, where I developed analysis software for various U.S. Army programs.After first learning Perl, I migrated all of the analysis tools and software into Python. I then led the development efforts for a large-scale SQL database schema and Python analysis framework for U.S. Army C-RAM on the Command and Control (C2) platform and associated radars and weapon systems.After several years, I was the lead developer on the Joint Analysis Team (JAT) between C-RAM and the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), producing specialized briefings for U.S. Army C-RAM Program Office and the U.S. Congress.I developed the generation of automated performance briefings using Powerpoint presentations generated directly from radar and weapon systems telemetry. I also developed novel analysis software framework which sped up efforts by 20x. I then developed automated web-based reports for radar system performance and developed SQL database schema for archived performance results.I re-wrote the previous data visualization solution involving Excel and manual charting into an automated solution using modern web technologies (HTML, JS, CSS). This allowed for a simplified user experience for exploring the telemetry data.I also performed all SIAP (Single Integrated Air Picture) analysis for C-RAM for fixed and rotary wing aircraft and many UAV platforms and wrote custom software for the analysis based on published papers.Additional data analysis efforts included data from multiple Army sensors (AN-TPQ36, AN-TPQ37, AN-TPQ48, AN-TPQ49, AN-TPQ50, AN-TPQ64/F1 and KRFS) as well as several experimental radars.
