2. I am high performing Systems Engineer who is always willing to step out of
my comfort zone to ensure the success of the project. I am someone who can
adapt to change quickly and provide great results in any and all challenges
faced, providing value in the ever changing technical workplace. I am your Go-
To person who finds reward in the success of the team effort.
Having led Systems Engineering teams for many years, I am confident in all
aspects of formal DOD Systems Engineering. I have performed the technical
planning and design of a system. I have performed system
integration, verification and validation. I am confident in many programming
and scripting languages as well as several engineering management tools. With
four years in the IT industry, I can expertly administer a complex UNIX based
network environment.
I am a U.S. Citizen with an Active Top Secret clearance.

3. I perform Integration, Verification and Validation (IV&V) for Infrared (IR)
Missile Warning Sensors (MWS) and Hostile Fire Indication (HFI) systems.
Currently, I am engaged in image processing algorithm development for
Multi-Spectral (MSI) cameras and sensors.
Accomplishments:
Implemented in Matlab the Bayes classifier for a SSSC MSI camera. This
resulted in correct camouflage detection from background foliage scenes.
Results are being used for new program capture.
I led the Systems Engineering effort to repackage a Commercial Off The Shelf
(COTS) SWIR Focal Plane Array into a smaller and cheaper DEWAR. Resulted
in an award of contract to build.

4. I directed a small team of SSSC engineers for data collection activities of EO/IR
and MSI prototype camera and sensors. Resulted in over one half Tera Byte of
usable imagery data, which was crucial to a new program being captured.
As the company calibration lead I stood up the AS9100C compliant calibration
program. I wrote the calibration plan, I discovered new calibrations resources
and I direct the overall equipment calibration effort. Customer noted that the
calibration program exceeded their needs and expressed kudos for it.
I created the Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) algorithm in Matlab to extract
features in a VISNIR Mulit-Spectral (MSI) Sensor. Compared and contrasted
results to the Spectral Information Divergence (SID) algorithm. My MSI
algorithm work helped to capture a new MSI program.
Performed prototype camera characterization by designing a unique image
registration algorithm for MSI polarimetric imagery. Used cross correlation to
align large number of polarimetric camera channels to create Stokes Vectors for
Matlab analysis and prototyping.

5. Accomplishments:
I was crucial to the success of an Advanced Threat Infrared Counter Measures (ATIRCM)
functional test at the White Sands Missile Range, where upon request of the U.S.
government I designed the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). I created a classified
data collection system with commercial and military equipment. I coordinated across
multiple functional areas to ensure WLAN effectiveness.
Designed the COTS architecture as the prototype for the Airborne Instrumentation
System (AIS) on a BAE IRAD program. I successfully implemented a highly modified
COTS hardware and software suite to record Hotlink image data. My system became the
standard for recording live fire events.
Led the total BAE Systems Engineering effort for a two Color Infrared (2CIR) Hostile Fire
Indication (HFI) data collection event where our system flew on a Huey helicopter. I flew
on board during the event to collect data to analyze the performance of the system in
flight. This competitive event led to BAE winning the JATAS contract.

6. I created a Solaris Systems Administration class for BAE Systems Engineers. The
Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) is Solaris based, and the field
deployment team often lacked in Solaris understanding. This class resulted in
higher proficiency among the deployable teams and an increased ability of the
teams to troubleshoot and repair the CMWS.
Led a White Sands deployment for the CMWS flare testing. I led a team of three
engineers and successfully proved a new flare type worked in the system. My
efforts on this test increased the overall satisfaction of the CMWS with U.S.
government customer so much that the DOD customer requested my service, by
name, for future WSMR ATIRCM testing.
Led the integration, onto an Aero Commander aircraft, the BAE 2CIR system for a
clutter data collection event. I flew onboard the aircraft and successfully collected 16
hours of 2CIR clutter data, used for missile probability of detection and false alarm
rate calculations. This data became the backbone for JATAS analysis and the
eventual winning of the JATAS contract.

7. I wrote a Concept of Operations (ConOps), a Software Requirements
Document (SRD), and an Engineering Flight Test (EFT) Management Plan for
an ATIRCM UH-60 installation. I flew on board the helicopter to verify the
performance of the ATIRCM. This was the first event to successfully show the
U.S. Army that ATIRCM could fly on a helicopter and provide a successful
missile warning and missile jamming capability. I received a Certificate of
Appreciation for this work.
Wrote the Acceptance Test Procedure for a new Human Machine Interface
using the DOORS program to document my adherence to the customer
requirements.
Performed a trade study using the Expert Choice decision support tool for
AHP automation. This resulted in a formal document the customer used to
support his “make or buy” decision.

8. I provided On-Site UNIX Systems Engineering support for the Nevada Air National
Guard (NVANG), 152nd Intelligence Squadron’s Distributed Common Ground
Systems (DCGS). I performed Solaris System Administration (SysAd), software
maintenance and modification support for several Image Intelligence (IMINT)
software products. I maintained and managed data networks at the physical, data
link and network layers of the OSI model. I acted as primary technical
representative for the Squadron during security accreditations. I implemented
designs for the network traffic from the SIPRNET to/from the Reno DCGS. I trained
Airman on the DCGS Networking, UNIX SysAd, and DBA and functioned as the
certifying official on the training records. I provided the mentoring in the
administration of Vitec Electronic Light Table (ELT) and Image Product Library
(IPL) Administration. I managed the Sybase 11 database. I performed loading and
bandwidth data communication testing for the DCGS WAN. I wrote many Bourne
shell scripts to streamline the IMINT exploitation process.

9. I deployed with the NVANG for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). I
modified and maintained the DCGS Exploitation cell. Reprogrammed routers,
firewalls and access control lists during deployment using knowledge of
networking standards and protocols. I was awarded $1000.00 from Raytheon
for this work. This also resulted in my receiving the 480th Intelligence Group,
2002 Technical Directors Award for Innovation and Technology.
After a major RAID crash, during a critical Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)
mission, I redesigned the Reno DCGS client-server architecture. This resulted
in the on-time mission completion of a critical OIF mission that saved
American lives.

10. I led the installation of a Cisco VOIP system for the NVANG. I programmed
the routers and VOIP phones while working with various other network
engineers to provide correct routing across the DCGS network. My actions
resulted in a usable wartime assets that allowed the RENO DCGS cell to
function more efficiently by allowing real-time voice communications with
other war time exploitation cells. Because of my actions during the OIF and
OEF wartime deployments, I was awarded the Nevada Distinguished Service
Medal.
Performed a critical function as the data base operator for Time Critical
Targeting (TCT) during OIF using Global Hawk and other EO and IR imagery.
Since delivery of the NVANG products was not automated, I setup an FTP
script to make the delivery timelier. This created a more efficient and stable
delivery of the TCTs.
During the Reno DCGS LAN DCID 6/3 security accreditation I expertly
demonstrated the system security and managed the inspector’s questions
accurately. This resulted in our approved accreditation and a letter from the
DCGS commander to my Raytheon manager noting my exemplary
performance

11. I planned, designed, organized, coordinated, directed, implemented, and
maintained all aspects of applied research and development SIGINT projects. I
assisted in the development of transformation strategy and migration plans for
future COMINT Systems. My projects included leader ship in the systems
analysis, systems engineering and systems integration of several IO/IW Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) systems. I installed, operated and trained soldiers on
several US Army R&D COMINT systems.
Accomplishments:
As the US Army Lead on The Technical Cooperation Program, (TTCP) EW
committee I provided leadership and expertise for the Army by
planning, designing, and the implementing international tests of commercial
wireless networks. I reported on the committee’s efforts, organized and directed US
Army resources to support international data collection efforts.

12. On foreign soil, I performed a RF site survey using communications test
equipment. Performed analysis, briefed results, and advised foreign Army
officers of COMINT environment. This work resulted in a meritorious service
award.
As the Contractor Officers Technical Representative (COTR) on a I2WD
frequency hopping wireless project, I ensured that the Soldier’s requirements
were met by visiting contractor facilities and reporting to the contracting
officer the results of my reviews of the contractors work.
I performed systems engineering analysis of several signal processing
architectures. Resulted in a successful trade study for Digital Receivers and
purchase of required equipment.

13. I expertly interfaced with National US government intelligence representatives
to acquire technology for the I2WD Communications EW effort. My efforts
resulted in an I2WD VME DSP acquisition that better suited international
testing requirements.
Created LabView Virtual Instruments (VI) for RF Communications test
processes. Resulted in a successful laboratory environment to better exploit the
communications signals of interest.
For my work at Fort Monmouth I received three U.S. Army Civilian Service
Performance Awards, one for each year, 1997 through 1999.
My first year as a U.S. Army Civil Servant I was an intern and received and
accelerated promotion from GS-7 to GS-9 and received the University of
Arkansas Meritorious Performance Award for the work I did at the college and
the U.S. Army School of Engineering and Logistics.

14. For the Post Attack Command and Control Systems (PACCS) career field, I
coordinated, planned, prioritized work assignments and supervised training
for crew of up 20 people. I ensured the strategic communications equipment on
EC-135C, World Wide Airborne Command Post (WWABNCP) aircraft, was
fully operational. I conducted technical reviews. I wrote performance
evaluations.
Leading the day to day maintenance operations at Hickam AFB, I was
identified as a star performer, as the Day Shift Chief, by the Inspector General
Review of the PACCS shop. I was instrumental in the shop receiving excellent
marks. My actions resulted in a Medal from the USAF.
Using logic analyzers I repaired a faulty million dollar satellite
communications (SATCOM) Automatic Test Station by isolating a defective
microprocessor not checked out by the built in test (BIT). My actions prevented
an expensive visit by depot level technicians.

15. For the Survivable Low-Frequency Communications System (SLFCS), I designed
new field level maintenance procedures because the in use fault isolation
procedures were inadequate. This resulted in many technical order changes that
enhanced the career field’s ability to repair the system without depot level support.
While leading an aircraft Communication Systems Alignment, I detected faulty
transmitter FM modulators in the A/C test suite, I directed the repairs, and my
actions resulted in the on-time deployment of the PACCS aircraft.
I taught the alignment methods for UHF AN/ARC-89 1KW power amplifier and
modified many procedures based on RF Communications systems knowledge.
I troubleshot several complex AN/ARC-171 Receiver Transmitters (RT) problems. I
tore apart the chassis of donor RTs to analyze the RF path using modulation and
spectrum analyzers and isolated an unallowable path loss. I repaired the RTs
allowing the restocking of critical low AFSATCOM RTs to the supply chain.
