Still having a blast working with great people at Progeny!!My first year was spent as a Cybersecurity Engineer for TEAMSUB. Developed technical design content for several Cybersecurity toolkit capabilities including intrusion detection capabilities (Linux Kernel Integrity Manager, Cyber-log analysis), improved authentication solutions (centralized password management, single sign-on), and intrusion prevention (application whitelisting, IMA). Developed cross-domain guarding solutions for ship control and UAV control.Chief Architect of the Payload Control System. After several years of work, we won the prime contract as the developer of a modernized payload control system. We are working to re-architect the system to better support future payload capabilities. This includes a full system redesign to prepare it for pluggable payload support, virtualization, hardware independence, and fault tolerance all while meeting availability requirements. The PCS project kicked off in October 2015 and we still have a lot of work to do to prove that our system can meet the needs for our future warfighters!
