Developing next-generation technologies to transform defense for the United States and its allies.

Virginia, United States

At Nightwing (a Raytheon spin-off formed in 2024), I spearhead the development and integration of next-generation technologies for defense, national security, and commercial customers. I'm also involved in technology scouting; strategic planning and partnerships; creating intellectual property; leading multidisciplinary R&D; developing novel hardware and software products and services; mentoring junior- to senior-level staff; and fostering a culture of innovation.

Arlington, Virginia, United States

As Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) for Cyber, Intelligence, and Services (CIS) and Raytheon Principal Technical Fellow, I was responsible for technology strategy and roadmapping. I also oversaw R&D for new products and services. My innovations have resulted in over 20 invention disclosures, 3 Raytheon U.S. patents, 1 Raytheon Trade Secret, and 9 patents pending. My R&D focus areas and expertise covered a wide range of topics such as AI/ML (including GenAI), cybersecurity, data analytics, mobile apps, edge- and multi-cloud computing, secure communications, quantum security, IoT, extended reality, 3D data visualization, OSINT, GEOINT, SIGINT, HUMINT, C3, C4ISR, counter-UAS, and others.In addition to these responsibilities, I evaluated emerging technologies, established internal and external strategic partnerships (incl. academia), and supported technology transfer and licensing. I also conducted competitive market assessments and helped Raytheon develop global go-to-market strategies. Furthermore, I frequently briefed senior government officials and C-suite executives and regularly represented Raytheon as a speaker at major technology conferences and media interviews. As Principal Technical Fellow, I also supported worldwide business development efforts and solutioning across all Raytheon businesses, incl. Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace.

Washington Dc-Baltimore Area

As the Chief Technology Officer for Raytheon Blackbird Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies since November 2014, I provided technology and engineering leadership, and developed technology and product strategies and road maps. I also managed the R&D program and intellectual property portfolio. In addition, I architected innovative, new products and services, resulting in 4 new products and 3 patents. Furthermore, I supported domestic and international business development across Raytheon Technologies in regions such as Europe, South America, and the Middle East.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

As a Director of Technology, I provided technology and engineering leadership, scouted and evaluated emerging technologies, created technology and product road maps, oversaw software- and hardware-related R&D programs, recruited and mentored technical talent, and served as Chief Architect and Chief Engineer on numerous domestic and international pursuits. I also had seven direct reports and oversaw seven teams comprising 3 software engineering teams, 1 hardware engineering team, 1 network engineering team, and 1 quality assurance team.
