• Led the design and development of the Inter-Node External Gateway, implementing a custom messaging infrastructure for network communication among nodes within the ALIS network topology. 
• Delivered core components and a working prototype 5 months ahead of schedule. 
• Developed custom software solutions including: persistent message queuing, workflow based on message categories, message preemption, data compression, and application-layer communication protocols. 
• Invented a reliable, unidirectional network protocol via data diode, bridging from unsecured to secured networks. Final product would have been patentable but for DoD ownership of the work.

• Played a major role replacing the legacy server software with a J2EE SOA infrastructure. Designed and implemented one-third of the server software.
• Spearheaded an initiative to introduce a RUP software process to a small company that had formerly used nothing but code-and-fix. Created a formal yet streamlined process.
• Implemented message-driven beans, business logic, and database access code (JDBC, DAOs, Oracle geospatial queries), including: a library service to retrieve image acquisition notifications and raw imagery, a local file cache of geolocated images, a satellite delivery service using Global Broadcast System (GBS) and Automated M-22 Broadcast (AMB), and a control service permitting remote monitoring and start-up.

• Spearheaded a redesign that reduced the time to arm a command by 95 percent, and reduced the amount of system-wide main memory usage by 99.95 percent. Replaced a bloated class hierarchy with a “data dictionary” distributed via POSIX shared memory.
• Promoted to team lead position in recognition for this redesign.
• Led the Subsystem Services team implement the primary interface to system software, arming and firing over 500 commands. This was mission critical software developed under formal processes and QA-witnessed testing.

• Worked with Confidential domain experts and system engineers to reverse-engineer the legacy GOAL command syntax from LPS.
• Received a Confidential Public Service Team Award for work on a small team that created a "launch system in a box." This was a development environment that permitted applications developers to run and test their code outside of the lab, which significantly increased productivity project-wide.
• Interfaced effectively within a very large organization of system engineers, domain experts, development leads, test engineers and managers working for multiple companies.
