During my Master’s studies, I studied Operations Research for over a year including the basics and a Python program to leverage genetic algorithms to solve a problem with no closed form solution.
My Master’s thesis was an original topic of my own conception and leveraged network analysis to analyze small world networks created from Facebook data. See publications section.
As a developer, I have years of experience working with geospatial visualization technology. I am a CesiumGS/cesium contributor.
Design, DevSecOps, & Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Team lead well versed in Agile methodologies and experienced with developing and deploying software via an iterative process focused on speed and sustainability.
At USSTRATCOM, designed a visual grammar in order to create detailed process documentation. The documentation is intended to help architect sustainable solutions in an effort to improve efficiency and mission readiness. Efforts directly contributed to data modernization of division.
As a BAE Systems principal engineer, consulted on multiple projects across BAE Systems and mentored developers on a daily basis
Maintain security baseline by monitoring releases, reviewing change logs, integrating version updates, submitting security impact reports, and training co-workers on modern trends and technologies.
I regularly leverage software and services to implement RPA solutions for myriad task types like writing code and creating data visualizations.
Visit my GitHub account for examples of my coding ability — like my PowerShell module, Prelude
As a Command Training Team officer liaison, guided the planning and implementation of new training practices and procedures that included achieving 100% compliance with new Navy SAPR training guidance.
Maintained 100% readiness as the branch Training Officer ensuring that personnel were always ready to meet mission objectives.
Naturally, I use web technology to create my presentations (ex: Reveal.js and Spectacle.js)
Engineering & General Management
As a division officer on a submarine, supervised the daily operations of a nuclear reactor and engine room at sea and in port, maintaining electrical power to vital systems throughout the submarine.
Led teams through complex technical procedures, during maintenance and casualty situations, maximizing efficiency while maintaining a safe environment.
Work closely with senior R&D professionals, providing impactful machine learning engineering and advanced analytical contributions to the conceptualization and design of new approaches that solve pressing national security challenges.
Provide coding support to implement new algorithms as proof of concept or prototype to test effectiveness and scalability of the proposed solutions.
Work in a highly collaborative environment with data scientists, machine learning scientists, remote sensing scientists, engineers, physicists and geographers to deliver systems from prototyping to production level.

Deputy team lead and Information System Security Manager (ISSM) for multi-million effort in support of national objectives
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) subject matter expert for the Advanced Warfare Solutions branch
Data scientist tasked with developing better understanding of operations with the goal improving mission effectiveness and efficiency.
Advised leadership on emergent technologies (such as AI/ML) and methodologies.
Utilized scientific inquiry in the independent development of mathematical models and computer programs to evaluate and predict the ability to support assigned projects, studies, or problems.
USSTRATCOM Joint Functional Component Command, Global Strike
Streamlined communication up chain of command and facilitated executive-level, biweekly planning meetings; improved planning process and enabled collaboration and senior leader strategic decision-making.
Worked with and around multiple applications on a regular basis such as Global Strike Planning Aid (GSPA, now named ACME), Joint Targeting Toolbox (JTT), Digital Imagery Exploitation Engine (DIEE), SPA, and IMEA
Qualified as a Collateral Damage Estimate (CDE) analyst
Consulted with multiple groups in US Strategic Command; provided technical counsel on projects involving network analysis and operations research; improved products and furthered approval/development process.
Modernized websites, maintained collaboration tools, created new tools for mission accomplishment, and maintained overall situational picture as division knowledge manager; improved productivity and efficiency.
05/06 – 07/10, Submarine Warfare Officer
USS Louisiana (SSBN 743)
Led team to verify 100% of damage control gear prior to sub’s major Operational Reactor Safeguard Exam; ensured zero deficiencies and sub’s ability to combat any casualty, real or simulated, during patrols.
Led efforts to improve tracking and control of top secret material; drafted and executed aggressive plan that successfully fixed sub’s wayward security program; led to no security-related discrepancies during inspection.
Selected out of 10 officers as sub’s inaugural LAN officer; essential in writing operating instructions; maintained LAN with 100% compliance and no major discrepancies during inspections.
