Code. Collaboration. Tradespace Exploration. I currently split my time between consulting for tradespace studies in defense aerospace acquisitions, coding in Python for EpochShift (www.epochshift.app), prototyping and building consumer products on web stacks (MERN-ish), and taking care of internal technology solutions for our small startup (www.diakronos.com). Occasionally I contribute to The Tradespace (https://medium.com/the-tradespace).--Past work involves software team leadership, industrial team leadership (Shot Director on Sandia's Z Machine), systems performance analysis and design of remote sensing ground stations, and discrete event simulations for Analysis of Alternatives studies for architectures and ConOps.--Formally trained in systems engineering and applied computer science (stakeholder analysis, data analysis/exploration/visualization, model-based artificial intelligence, algorithms, statistical analysis, autonomous systems, simulation, multi-objective optimization, human factors and psychology, and philosophy of technology) in MIT's Aero/Astro program with research in the Sociotechnical Systems Research Center (http://ssrc.mit.edu) on early-lifecycle systems engineering analysis and design, including tradespace exploration and interactive visualization.

Listed skills include Simulations, Matlab, Systems Engineering, Linear Programming, and 36 others.
