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.

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.

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.
