• Air vehicle performance lead for major program for both technical execution and capture activities. Responsible for managing and developing tools and procedures for calculation of relevant performance metrics while also driving vehicle to closure across requirements. • Highly involved in aerodynamic design and OML development. Impacted program direction by demonstrating feasible path to close on key metrics, and then successfully executing this with the broader team. Received multiple BRAVO awards in role.• Successfully influenced multiple requirements changes favorable to NGC design. Set up coordination with customer Aero/Performance SMEs and serve as key liaison. • Author and lead for major section of Program Technical Volume for critical deliverable. Section included details across all Flight Sciences disciplines, with multiple annexes of technical data. Section rated favorably in color team reviews by company leadership. • Conducted all flight sciences analysis for Black Hat assessment: aerodynamics, mass properties, and performance/stability & control. Briefed Sector VPs and leadership on strategic implications for capture. • Worked with program strategy team to distill NG design solution into strengths and risk reducers aligned to customer focus areas; approach adopted after presentation to multiple VPs/Senior Directors. • Deputy to the Flight Sciences IPT lead – serve as DOA for extended periods of time including in key design phases. Responsible for generating tasking as well as making technical decisions, and on occasion handling management responsibilities. • Developed new capabilities for NG vehicle performance homeroom, including: 3DOF Aircraft Carrier Launch and Recovery Program, 6DOF Flight Dynamics program, and a new mission performance program, all actively in use. Improved MDAO workflow and runtime of tools such as VORLAX. • Selected for and completed NGC Future Chief Engineers and Aircraft Conceptual Design Technical Development courses.

Aerospace Systems Design Lab (ASDL) – Operations Analysis Lead, Low Cost Attritable Aircraft (LCAA) Program. Advisors: Dr. Dimitri Mavris, Dr. Olivia Fischer, Dr. Alicia SudolWorked on and eventually became the lead of the Operations Analysis portion of the AFRL - ASDL LCAA program. Developed AFSIM battle management and behaviors that adapt to variety of tactical,sensor, weapon, and vehicle performance inputs on platforms for a complex mission in order to enable trade space exploration. The AFSIM scenario that I led development of has been used by at 3 separate ASDL projects to date, improving lab’s ability to conduct trade studies on novel configurations and complete sponsored work.Work presented and nominated for the Barchi prize at MORS (Military Operations Research Society) Symposium in both 2018 and 2019
