I was the first programmer hired to SSE’s Jacksonville branch. In my first year with SSE, I assembled a team of four programmers and took a Boeing owned project that was 2 years behind schedule to an on-time and successful release. This Boeing Maintenance Trainer known as the “MicroSim” has been such a success that it is being deployed on the 777x, 787, and the new NMA plane. On top of managing a team of 4 developers and two artists I held other responsibilities. My first priority was as a developer where I put in 30-40 hrs of coding a week, but I also managed the tasks and workflow of my coworkers in an agile environment. On top of that I was expected to attend Boeing meetings to discuss AR/VR technology and help acquire new contracts such as the C-17 AR sim that I was able to secure two months ago. No matter the challenge I took it head on.Accomplishments* Won a first ever Boeing award given to any SSE branch for my efforts in the first 6 months on the project* Won an award from the President of SSE for my work effort in my first 10 months on the project* 8 consecutive product releases* The only non-Boeing employee given access to Boeing PMP training material

LSI is the leading simulation company in Army helicopter simulations. I was one of 5 software engineers at the company that helped create the Apache Helicopter VIE (Virtual Interactive Environment) beginning in 2011. The Apache VIE is now used by 100% of army engineers. Currently I write hardware/software code to integrate the VIE with real Apache, Chinook, and Blackhawk helicopters. I also am responsible for flying to military bases and assembling the simulations/hardware for the Army customers where the product under goes GFI (Government Final Inspection). During GFI I must debug and fix issues on my own as I am often the sole Software Engineer sent out. My career at LSI has been an exciting and rather successful one.AccomplishmentsPromoted to Software Engineer II in under 3 yearsTaught myself how to develop with I/O controllers and created a library for hardware/software communication used on 100% of our trainersLearned how to work in an rapid development environment and develop code within strict deadlines
