Confidential,Huntington Beach, Ca. April 2005 – June 2011; FCS/BCTM

• Software/Systems Engineer: Lead technical engineers in groups of 3–10 in a lab environment; delivering products on time, across multi sites; doing integration, development, test, data collection, V&V and analysis for BCTM; upgrading Army’s communications system of systems.
• Define System Requirements and test plan development in a group environment: Organized and lead meetings to accomplish goals previously listed. High success rate of achieving defined goals.
• Define Hardware / Software requirements and Network Configuration: Worked in large scale lab environment of 200 clips on average over five year period. Helped define and then managed the test lines that we built.
• Multi node segmented network tests: Implemented the automation and analysis necessary to deal with this non-repeatable distributed system.
• Highest level of technical deliverables. Reputation of getting involved in mission critical, high visibility, highly technical work.
• Project Management of an Earned Value System ensuring the highest accountability of deliverables for both formal and informal testing.
• Tool development: Created testing tools as needed for integration, test and analysis with Perl and other scripting languages. Made extensive use of packet capturing tools – Wireshark, Ethereal, LIBPCAP/TCPDUMP.
• Perl: Used to build data harvesting/ data parsing tools; created CSV files.
• SQL: Data above was then imported to an SQL database where complex queries were used to create charts and analyze the data. SQL procedures used as well.
• RHEL: All lab work over 6 years was done on RedHat Enterprise Linux OS; acted as administrator, software integrator, software tester and analyst.

Confidential,Huntington Beach, Ca. Oct. 1998 - July 2004

• Radar Analyst: Contributing significantly to our country’s ballistic missile defense system. Applying all areas of physics relating to ballistic motion, radar detection, tracking and discrimination performance for XBR/SBX/Aegis Radar systems. Strong background working with waveforms.
• Worked with Kalman and batch filters, active and passive sensors
• SSTB: Performed high fidelity non real time simulations with the Sensor Simulation Test Bed – high fidelity simulation software.
• Algorithm development: developed tools used for radar analysis. Beam shape loss, propagation effects, waveform modeling, Fourier transforms, used Perl, Fortran and C++
• Management lead of analysis teams: managed small groups in analysis.
