• Led systems engineering solutions to middleware issues between DIS, HLA, TENA, and OneSAF
• Implemented cloud solutions to lower the barrier of non-simulation experts to be able to execute experiments without intimate knowledge of the applications being run. This included software development of a deploy system that would take requirements from the user and spawn off multiple VMs of software systems and return results back to the user in a timely manner. Development is Java using the Play Framework API. Administration of VMs is done via the VMWare VSphere application. All VMs are built either with VMWare and Oracle VirtualBox VMs and are being executed on virtual and preexisting hardware platforms based on customer needs and resources

• Led Government team in design reviews and provided feedback to the government on potential shortfalls of design decisions. This included evaluations of systems such as JPALS, different radar suites, and platform processes for taking off and landing
• Supported the development of simulation systems such as radar to handle testing of existing and new proposed platforms. This included identifying how to test the system in order to ensure adherence to the agreed upon requirements

Design and Development Lead, Sr. Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Led a team in designing, developing and maintaining various Army DoD simulation applications/tools. This included working with the technical lead to identify the requirements, come up with use cases and decomposed requirements. Once work was identified and priorities were set it included working with the 15 developers to see whose availability and skillset could perform tasks in designated timeline. Coordinated with testing team to get proper testing done of software prior to release. Provided government acceptance test in order to get software officially released with customer approval.
• Led integration events comprising of external Army DoD applications to one common MATREX infrastructure using an RTI with an HLA environment. This included working with 10 labs and centers across RDECOM with different software products to identify a common communication in order to work on military scenarios to provide answers to analysts
• Administered the PTR (Program Trouble Report) system, CVS system, and a continuous build environment. Held weekly PTR meeting to handle bugs, enhancements, and new work. Met with technical lead to provide status to all efforts and establish a priority list of known issues, new work, and support to integration efforts
• Led the building and pushing of the integrated environment throughout both the classified and unclassified laboratories. This included patches provided by external software packages that needed to be recompiled and then pushed (via scripts) across 20+ lab machines to ensure consistency across the lab
