• As Operations Analyst for the Secure Borders Initiative SBI net, provided integrated defense-in-depth analysis in support of the interdiction of illegal immigration, internal, and external threats operating in or moving through the international borders with Canada and Mexico. This included determining the optimum mix of technology, infrastructure, and response platforms to achieve maximum tactical and strategic advantage in each unique border environment. Provided analysis support to the Secure Border Initiative network SBInet , Mission Assessment and Integration MA I Integrated Product Team IPT , Washington, DC, laboratory.
• Detailed responsibilities included: supporting the SBInet program and Custom and Border Protection CBP in the refinement of border operational concepts, operational requirements, and supporting architectures analysis of 6,000 miles of United States US land border in order to identify the technology, infrastructure, and deployment of personnel required to control the border. Tasks included: use of models and simulations which addressed the border laydown, pursuit of border calculus to analyze time and distance relationships between intruders, CBP agent deployments, topographies, vegetation, population densities, and climate analysis of future migration flow given the evolutionary deployment of SBInet use of intelligence data and other information useful in the pursuit of correct solutions and rigorous control of the analytical information produced for ease of use.
• Interfacing at the highest level of management, represented the MA A IPT and coordinated with internal and external SBInet organizations. Analyzed CBP operational concepts and strategies integrating it with knowledge of border operations, organizations, and relationships to other agencies. Participated with CBP and other SBInet IPTs in developing border related operational concepts, requirements, and supporting architectures.
• While still permanently assigned to SBInet, deployed on special assignment for a five month period 7/08 to 12/08 to Wichita KS in support of the KC-767A Italian Tanker program, leading a technical team in the development of System Description and Verification Documents SDVDs and the Certificate of Design CoD , interfacing and directly presenting to this international Customer.

Engineer/Scientist

• As CV-22 Systems Engineering Lead, performed analysis starting with the abstraction of customer needs and working down to identify the requirements for hardware, software, people, facilities, data, and combinations thereof. The initial step in this process resulted in the definition of system requirements, specified as part of the overall system architecture. This included the development of a base MV-22 Block A post Engineering and Manufacturing Development EMD Technical Compliance Matrix TCM through the development of CV-22 Block 20 flight test scheduling to provide demonstrated verification documentation of system requirements.
• Performed the iterative process of systems analysis, synthesis and design refinement leading initially to the establishment of a functional baseline, then to the allocated baseline, and finally to the product baseline. Included was the conduct of multiple trade studies to bound the limits of future block upgrades. The integration function was accomplished by promoting the IPT approach leading ultimately to verification of requirements. Inherent within the conduct of the CV-22 systems engineering program was the preparation and implementation of a solid SEMP.
