Through collaboration with program leaders, technology developers, and executives, I aim to reduce the cost of development of capabilities by building technology strategies that facilitate progress that is beneficial for multiple applications. I have worked with teams to write multiple >$3M proposals to accelerate the development of key technologies required to achieve aerospace autonomy leadership which I proved were insufficiently addressed through existing and planned projects by performing a complete analysis of project plans and aligning these to a survey of current and future program needs. Additionally, I am responsible for running a quarterly "Enterprise Autonomy Summit" which brings together executives, subject matter experts, and key stakeholders in the autonomy space together to collaborate on how best to address autonomy strategy.

I was asked to assume this temporary emergency assignment to assist the Ramjet 155 team through the contract down-select phase. The team was successful in achieving a $30M contract with the U.S. government for further development. I was responsible for scheduling, tracking, and managing progress of the avionics team while also synchronizing work flow, requirements, and risks/opportunities with other program teams. Simultaneously, I managed the physical and software interfaces between sensors… Show more I was asked to assume this temporary emergency assignment to assist the Ramjet 155 team through the contract down-select phase.

There, I was responsible for managing and writing requirements for the 737 MAX audio management system, writing certification plans for an aircraft alert system on in-service, out-of-production aircraft, and directly interfacing with customers to support inquiries into the 737 MAX flight controls system.My third rotation was in HorizonX/NeXt, a subteam of Boeing Research & Technology that focuses on the high-speed implementation of a prototype autonomous platform. There, I designed a mobile hardware integration lab (HIL) that can be used to model all of the avionics (air vehicle hardware) on the vehicle as a standalone system or while tied into the vehicle itself.My second rotation was in F-15 Electronic Warfare, where I worked on the EPAWSS system, the latest electronic warfare platform for the US Air Force. There, I programmed an automated tracking program using VBA in order to track the progress of tasks required to approve, test, and implement hardware designs.My first rotation was in F/A-18 Guidance, Navigation, & Controls where he worked on an augmented aircraft carrier landing platform. I developed and updated control laws in order to meet customer demands and fix undesirable vehicle behavior. Show less
